The annual forecast of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revealed that the amount of air travel will double in the next twenty years.?To adjust to future evolution, the statement stresses the need to follow the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).
In order to keep up and remain ambitiouswith the rest of the world, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Ray Lahood commented that, for the sake of the United States economy, we need to spend more on the future of aviation. progressive NextGen technology, as commented by Lahood, will help meet the needs of the future by dispatching travelers to their destinations quicker and safer than before.
Last year, it was computed that U.S. airlines will reach the one billion passengers-per-year mark by 2021, but the announcement of the projected FAA Aerospace Forecast Fiscal Years 2011-2031, now states that we reach that number by 2019, two years earlier. Business jet charter is also speculated to expand due to the high number of business class patrons with more companies outsourcing business to other countries and increasing the necessity to take to the air more commonly.
The FAA is now working on transforming the U.S aviation system from radar to satellite-based systems, thanks to NextGen, in order to aid patrons get to their destinations quicker, without compromising scope and safeguards. By flying newer, more precise routes, suggestions are also in place to reduce fuel burn, noise and carbon emissions.
FAA Administrator, Randy Babbitt, commented that we are already witnessing the palpable safeguards and efficiency advancements of NextGen, and that only a modernized air transportation system will be able to keep up with our forecasted demand.
The aviation fundamental used to determine the volume of travel by patrons, per mile is called Revenue Passenger Miles (RPM). RPM is projected to double in the next two decades, rising from 787 billion in 2010 to 1.7 trillion in 2031. The total number of landings and takeoffs at FAA towered airports will decline very slightly in 2011 but shall return at an average of 1.6 percent per year thus reaching 69.4 million in 2031. Private charter jets, in addition to commercial class will also be impacted and see a dramatic increase in traffic. In order to bypass long waits at the airport, those who can sustain it may be more willing than ever to charter a private jet to get to their destinations faster and with less struggle.
In 2011, the twenty year forecast of the FAA forecasts that 737.4 million patrons will travel on U.S. airlines, rising by 3.5 percent from last year. The amount is predicted to expand at an average of 2.8 percent per year in the remaining forecast period to 1.3 billion by 2031.
