Travel Industry News
News, it is said, is something that is either important or not so important, and in this case it is certainly true. When we look at the Travel and Leisure Industry we see that there are many issues and trends shaping up around us. One of these trends shaping up is the continued growth of sustainable aviation fuel sales which, if no one knows about it, is a booming industry. The fact is that there are some serious challenges to be faced in the way of sustainable fuel sales as the global energy crunch bites the dust yet again.
With September as the first month of the year behind us there are many expectations about the industry. This is good for the Travel and Leisure Industry but bad for the environment and the global energy picture. If you think about the impact that climate change and the other natural disasters will have on tourism then you can begin to see why sustainable aviation fuel sales may be quite fragile. With reports showing the slow but steady decline in new applications for renewable fuel, it seems that there are few places in the world which can claim to have seen a significant increase in new business over the past twelve months. The key here is to understand how the market is evolving and how it may impact upon your travel plans moving forward.
There are many issues shaping up over the next 12 months. The first comes from developments in the US where the federal government has approved the construction of the world’s first offshore oil rig. These decisions are coming from both parties, the Democrats in Congress wanting oil drilling off the shores of the southern state and the Republicans in the House and Senate backing the move. It is expected that the november marks the start of the fishing season for the continental shelves of the United States, which means more travelers looking to explore the open sea and beyond. With no doubt many more will follow and as the summer weather gets hotter flights may start to get busier again.
Is The Peak Of Summer For International Cargo Activity
Beyond this there is a lot of news to look out for with regards to air freight, maritime, passenger demand and the ever-changing environment at sea. As november approaches the threat of hurricane season forecasts are starting to become more accurate and some experts are predicting that we could see an extended period of bad weather over the summer months. Hurricane season is traditionally the worst time for air freight, but with recent meteorological conditions it may be a cause of concern for those who travel on commercial flights. Some airlines have already started to cancel a number of their flights and more are expected to follow. In order to stay on top of what’s happening on the ground keep an eye on airline november news.
The weather conditions over the past week or so has had a major influence on air cargo operations and, as november approaches it appears that the effects may be negative. According to reports moderate recovery is taking place in the Pacific Ocean but some areas are seeing more massive waves accompanied by strong winds. Reports suggest that the worst hit will continue on Friday and could lead to a new record low. With less wind, ocean traffic could increase but with increased delivery times it could also mean lower passenger capacity. If the forecast holds true and the winds strengthen over the weekend it is estimated that the end of november could see significantly reduced levels of passenger traffic on commercial airlines.
Air cargo activity over the coming weeks will be closely monitored and reported as conditions in the water improve. Although it seems that everything is pointing to a soft landing, experts say that no trade and travel deals will be finalised before the start of October. Therefore, we should expect a period of high activity in the final stretch of the year as the weather conditions in the Pacific Ocean remain conducive.
