What impact will the development and introduction of air taxis have on the workforce and the labour market ?

The introduction of air taxis, also known as electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, could revolutionise the way we travel. However, the development and deployment of this technology also raises important questions about its impact on the workforce and the labour market.

Could modernised versions of airships return ?

Aviation in its current form is not sustainable. The emissions associated with it are staggeringly high compared to the number of people or goods it can carry. The only argument for large (passenger) transport planes is speed, and of course the lack of alternatives. However, the return of airships, which flourished in the 1920s and 1930s, could provide a sustainable and stylish answer to the latter challenge.

Aviation on the verge of a revolution

Humanity has always had a desire to fly, starting with hot air balloons in the 18th century and continuing with airships and planes. However, environmental concerns and fuel shortages have led some manufacturers to consider alternative methods of air travel. The Airbus A380, the largest passenger jet, produces a significant amount of carbon dioxide emissions and air pollution on long flights.
