"Commercial air travel is ready for a 10 year slowdown."
You're not really offering any evidence, just speculation. The actions of the major airlines suggest an expansion, not a retraction.
- londons_explore 5y agoAre they expanding... Or are they switching towards more fuel efficient planes with the expectation that it won't be long before countries start restricting flights that produce too much CO2?
- bluGill 5y agoAirplanes have a lifespan. Janky "third world" countries will let you fly a plane that should have been scrapped, but the big airlines in major countries scrap their old planes at the end of life to ensure flying is safe. Getting more fuel efficient planes is a side effect (and with the cost of fuel one they are excited to get)
