What Are The Leading Drivers Of Growth In The VHF Air Ground Communication Stations Market?
The surge in air traffic is predicted to spur expansion in the VHF air ground communication stations market. Air traffic encompasses the movement of aircraft throughout airspace, which includes the stages of takeoff, landing, and all intermediate phases of flight. This includes an array of aircraft types ranging from commercial airliners to private aircraft, helicopters, and military planes. Facilitating communication between pilots and air traffic controllers is a primary function of VHF air ground communication stations. These stations are located at airports, within air traffic control towers and other ground facilities handling air traffic, providing critical weather and navigation details to pilots, which in turn stimulates the growth of the VHF air ground communication stations market. The International Air Transport Association (IATA), a trade organization for the world's airlines based in Canada, recorded an overall rise in air traffic by 55.5 percent from 2022 to 2023, announced in April 2023. Similarly, there was a combined rise of 25.2 and 89.7 percent in domestic and international traffic respectively in comparison to 2022. To add, the US-based government agency, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported in March 2023 that US airlines carried an additional 194 million passengers in 2022 than they did in 2021, signalling a 30 percent increase from year to year. As such, the ascending trend in air traffic is expected to push the growth of the VHF air ground communication stations market.
