The pandemic has spawned new and unique challenges for airlines and airports as regaining passenger confidence has become the most critical factor in weathering the ongoing economic storm and remaining competitive in the uncertain years ahead. Today, in Europe and UK, the aviation industry is slowly rebounding, led by domestic travel. However, it has also reshaped the sector in a number of ways, driving long-term changes in fleet composition, flight routes, and passenger demand. From head-mounted thermal scanning devices to technology-supported social distancing measures, the aviation industry has adopted new and evolving technology solutions to enhance both the customer experience and sustain operational efficiencies. The use of contactless boarding, digital passports, A.I, data analytics, and more technologies that were side-lined during the previous decade of industry growth are now being examined with fervent scrutiny to evaluate their efficacy in solving crucial COVID-19 challenges. This pace of innovation and adoption has set the scene for rapid industry transformation over the next few years to enable airlines to offer a smarter, safer, and more sustainable travel industry.
