Abstract
Nowadays, we encounter significant technological progress in several areas and branches of industry. The aviation industry is no exception. Improvements are constantly being made in the area of airlines´ aircraft fleets and terminals are undergoing continuous development and modernization. As an example, we can cite the development of new, more modern and durable structural components and aircraft engines, which provide aircraft with better operational characteristics and contribute to more efficient use of aviation fuel. Control systems in aircraft cockpits are also undergoing a significant technological change. Over time, these are transitioning to fully computerized control without the need for significant intervention by the aircraft crew. The rapid introduction of new technologies due to the demand of the market also brings negative phenomena that can be the cause of air accidents. The aim of the article is to highlight the relevant challenges currently facing air traffic. The contribution is devoted to demographic factors that affect air transport, especially in economically developing regions of the world.
