New Technologies and Air Traffic Safety

The external challenges that increase the pressure on the efficiency and safety of airline operation are intensifying and becoming more complex. Various mechanisms of controlling the costs that were used in the eighties are no longer sufficient, and neither are the new management models of optimising the revenues that were used in the nineties of the last century. It is necessary to introduce new elements of increasing the fleet productivity. Efficient harmonisation of the fleet capacities not only at the level of the annual expected industrial standard of occupancy (e.g. aircraft occupancy of 68 per cent), lacks a sufficiently stratified and integral approach to solving the problem of different oscillations in the traffic demand. This does not refer to the need to reduce or increase the fleet capacities, but rather to find the dynamic solution of the optimal mix of the range of different aircraft sizes according to different phenomena regarding peak loads (weekends, tourist season, holidays, etc.). New technologies of air traffic have to respect the basic factors of sustainable development, especially with regard to the congestion of traffic and infrastructure capacities, replacement of noisy aircraft, reduction of jet engine emissions. Apart from its safety dimension, the future development of technology in air traffic will be predominantly oriented towards increasing the cost-effectiveness of operation.
