Improving customer service in aviation while keeping ticket prices at minimum
Reducing flight operational costs to a minimum cost while providing quality services is challenging. To achieve such a feat in the airline industry, some strategies can be implemented. The first step would be to introduce direct booking and eliminate agent booking services. The next step would be to abolish the business class and introduce a quality standard class where everyone would be treated to the best commercial flight experience. The third step would be to train a highly efficient and reliable human relations service that would enhance the travelling experience for which the clients would be paying. The final step would be to standardize these prices by formulating a scheme to charge for the world-class customer experience for the standard class without raising ticket prices. This way, the airline would not suffer any losses while still maintaining the best commercial flight services.
What Prevents The Widespread Use Of Flying Cars By The General Public? Will They Ever Become Popular In Future?
It’s unlikely that the world is ready for use of flying cars by the majority of the public. To start with, having the public fly around in their cars is a major threat to public safety. The infrastructure required to set up the flying cars in various cities around the world is also expensive, and many nations would be unwilling to invest in it -for example, air traffic control systems and landing spaces. If they start being sold commercially, these cars will become unaffordable to the ordinary person. The idea of flying cars certainly does hold a lot of futuristic advantages such as no needs for roads, reduction in travelling time, and more airspace. If the tech developments can improve safety, fuel efficiency and emissions, and the prices, then it’s possible that future flying cars will be quite popular.
Will commercial aviation ever turn to unmanned aerial vehicles?
Many aviation experts think that soon, pilotless airliners are going to be unveiled. However, UAVs have yet to find a place in the commercial flight industry and many individuals have not approved for their use for routine purposes. UAVs cannot visually identify technical obstacle such as nearby planes. The communication between the UAV system and the control center also can be disrupted by limited bandwidths. Additionally, onboard software to interpret data from the aircraft’s radar and cameras is not readily forthcoming. The idea of trusting civilian lives with software is still evolving, but as of yet, many ethical issues underlie this problem of UAVs. There is hope though that future crafts will be technologically developed enough to fly commercially (Ross).
Features around My Local Airport That Can Provide Navigation Challenges To Pilots
I come from the low altitude areas of southern Africa and I know that most pilots have a problem with wind effects at such low levels. Wind can create ‘wind illusions’ which can be strong and vary according to climate change. They make aircrafts to drift when they try flying across these wind. Another problem is terrain issues, especially because pilots have to ‘climb’ from low to high altitude areas. Weather changes also provide significant navigation hindrances mainly due to creation of low visibility and ‘no fly zone’ areas. The positioning of the sun reduces clear forward vision and the large body of ocean water can create a big compromise when flying ‘over it’.
