The chapter delves into the challenges faced by the aviation industry, including Boeing's quality control problems and the need for improved oversight by the FAA. It explores the lack of innovation in air travel experiences, discussions on advancements like facial recognition in airport security, and potential changes in aircraft fueling towards hydrogen or electrification. Sustainability is a key focus, with talks on reducing emissions through Sustainable Aviation Fuel and the emergence of electric vertical takeoff and landing companies.
Pivot’s special series on the future of travel wraps up with a last stop: planes. What exactly is happening with Boeing? How will AI play a role in aviation? And most importantly, what is everyone’s favorite, and least favorite airport? Kara and Scott discuss it all with Pete Muntean, CNN's aviation and transportation correspondent, who also happens to be a pilot and flight instructor.
