The global chartered air transport market grew from $79.16 billion in 2022 to $85.9 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The chartered air transport market is expected to grow to $115.78 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.7%.
Technology is expected to be a continued driver of the chartered air transportation services market's growth during the forecast period. Sectors such as transportation services will benefit from the greater efficiencies offered by technological advances. Technologies such as aircraft telematics relay engine information via satellite to manufacturers and maintenance teams on the ground to minimise time on the tarmac, reducing flight turnaround times and increasing the efficiencies of airlines. Several technologies such as big data, machine learning, and predictive analytics are also being used to increase efficiencies and align business strategies. Big data uses a combination of real-time information, historical trends, and clever algorithms to translate car speeds, weather conditions, and sources of acceleration and deceleration for road operators. Adoption of technology will drive the chartered air transport industry going forward.
Major companies in the chartered air transport market include Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, TUI Airways, NetJets, Garuda Indonesia, Air Transport Services Group, Jet edge International, Air Partner, Gama Aviation, and Thai Airways International Public Co. Ltd.
The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the chartered air transport market in 2020. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of "lock down" and the outbreak harmed businesses throughout 2020 and 2021. However, it is expected that the market will recover from the shock.
Airlines are actively making use of wearable technology to enhance operational efficiency, maintenance, and to provide add-on entertainment to passengers. Wearable technology includes the use of smartphones, personal electronic devices, smart glasses, smartwatches, near-field communication (NFC), and Bluetooth technology to improve and simplify the passenger experience. These technologies help passengers improve safety and efficiency, and receive updates and information related to their flight. They are capable of helping pilots, crew members, and maintenance teams monitor gas concentrations, levels of noise, and temperature to avoid mishaps. Smartwatches allow passengers to upload their ticket-related information on these devices. About 77% of the 6,000-plus passengers surveyed in a study said they would be comfortable with the use of wearable technology to help them during their journey. Some companies making use of such wearable technologies include Virgin Atlantic, Japan Airlines, EasyJet, and British Airways.
