Aviation sector comprises the activities surrounding mechanical flight and the aircraft industry. The inception of Aviation industry goes back to the 18th century with the development of the hot air balloon. Since that time, aviation has been technologically revolutionized and has become a major form of transport throughout the world.

The pandemic’s impact on the aviation industry has been seismic – but not terminal. With turnaround promises expected to exceed pre-COVID levels by mid-decade, this industry cannot afford to return to pre-pandemic norms. We can expect to see significant disruption in the coming decade from technologies such as: AI, Big data, IoT, EV and AV, Synthetic and hydrogen fuels and VTOL.
