Welcome to the latest issue of Airport Industry Review magazine.
Although not yet a serious concern, there is undoubtedly a shortage of air traffic controllers in the civil aviation sector. In this issue, we look at the reasons behind the insufficient numbers and what is being done to rectify it.
We also learn how maintenance schedules change for runways coming to the end of their life, and look at some of the new technology being rolled out in airports to improve accessibility.
US aerospace giant Boeing has been making headlines this year, but often not for the right reasons. int his issue we ask: Is Boeing too big to fail?
As well as all of this, we highlight some of the UAM startups to look out for as the sector continues to grow, and speak to Cyvation about the need to better protect aircraft against cyberattacks.
For this, and much more, read on. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @Airport_Mag as well.
