Sustainability In The Aviation Industry Sustainability is currently the talk of the town. With growing concerns of global warming, rising sea levels, leading to climate change, these are issues not be trifled with. The aviation industry contributes 32.5 Gigaton of carbon dioxide every year which equates to 24% of global emission due to the high consumption rate of energy (Amicarelli et al., 2021). As the demand for travel in the aviation industry is expected to grow from approximately 4 billion passengers annually to 8 billion passengers annually by 2040 (IATA, 2023), the amount of pollution generated by the aviation industry will also increase concurrently. If nothing was done to lower these numbers, the rate of climate change will increase substantially to unsustainable levels, making the earth uninhabitable. What has been done? Innovation has been the cornerstone of sustainability as many new ideas are being developed to tackle the issues faced on sustainability be it new invent...

Are Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) the future of Aviation? UAVs have been a growing trend in recent years. As reported by the ICAO (2021) in 2021, the global market for transport and logistic using UAVs is projected to grow from USD 11 billion in 2022 to USD 29 billion by 2027. This increase in usage of UAVs are tentatively a call for aviation authorities to develop more refined regulations to be meted out in response to the foreseeable future on UAVs being part of the aviation industry. With an increase in autonomous vehicles on the ground, it is no surprise that eventually, UAVs might play a huge part within the aviation industry. From air transport of passengers and goods, to surveillance, and recreational uses, these are some of the aspects that UAVs can replace the general aviation applications that we see today. Despite the many uses that UAVs can contribute towards the aviation industry in terms of efficiency and creating capacity, there are some aspects that might actually pos...
