Aviation Innovation: What’s Up in the Air

It might be hard to tell at times, but we’re in the midst of a renaissance when it comes to the air travel experience. Everything from the aircraft we fly to the routes they take to the in-flight experience is getting a major redesign. The pandemic and subsequent Infrastructure Act provided the downtime and funds for our airports to get badly needed investment, enabling them to modernize their operations and overhaul the passenger experience into something that is actually pleasant. While it’s been over 30 years since the last flight of the Concorde, new aviation technology is opening up alternative modes of transport that will make getting from here to there faster, cheaper, more accessible and more climate-friendly.
