Abstract

According to the International Air Transport Association, it is strongly expected that the passenger traffic will increase to near double digits equaling to approximately 7.2 billion passengers compared to the present 3.8 billion by the end of two decades from now. People really want to fly as they search for trade, exploration and sharing the benefits of innovation and economic prosperity thus the demand of air travel is really set for achieve the double digits mark. This paper aims at highlighting the various the needs for a sustainable system of transport defining sustainable transport systems. In addition, the paper aims to give information on emissions and mitigation of jet airplane Greenhouse Gas as it too highlights transport airships that are poised to replace the older passenger jetliners that are damped as most polluting. The paper will culminate in showing how the transport airship are crucial in causing some impacts to the fate of international trade.

Paper’s Strengths and Weaknesses

It is highly likely that the rising demand in air travel will double in the next two decades or even triple the level as at the year ended 2015 if only trade liberalization gather and sustains pace. This communicates that if the current trend towards protectionism of trade will gain more strength, growth cold figure to 2.5% per annum Compound Average Growth Rate against the predicted 3.7% annual Compound Average Growth Rate prediction noted presently. Sustainable transportation seeks to ensure that there is easily accessible, environmentally-friendly, safe and affordable air transport with social and economic factor considered in decisions concerning the transportation activity. The innovation and technology that there is presently, will see some ease of pressure to the environment as jet liners become more lighter and use lesser fuel thus lesser pollution.

Air planes are poised to become more environmental friendly and thus ease the burden from passengers who are always at the receiving end of all the flight expenses. However, as the change from less costly but highly polluting fuels, for instance Kerosene, is made, the transition to less polluting fuels, for instance fossil fuels, is a challenge for they are more costly as compared to the highly polluting fuels. Therefore the hustle and tussle to achieve an all-round conservative sustainable air transport system is quite real. Though technology and innovation has seen more efficient planes with lower fuel burn rates, it is yet not up to the expected mark of sustainable transport air system and more has to be done.

Implicit Economic Model

With the achievement of more efficient planes and rise in air traffic, the international economy is headed towards growth. As people travel local ad internationally in search for trade and a place to share their innovation, the economy is with no doubt destined for diversity and so expansion exponentially. With more air traffic and travel, the exchange of goods and services will definitely increase as encouraged by the sustainable air transport system that invites cheaper prices and more reliable transport system.

What did you learn?  

The more sustainable and reliable the transport system, the more the growth in revenue as many passengers find it pocket-friendly to use system for transport. The availability of sustainable and reliable transport system brings efficiency and quickly opens up the world internationally for trade hence more international trade and growth in global capital. This translates to that, the better and sustainable the transport system of a country or a continent, the better and higher the chance of staging a higher rate of economic growth owing to the fast and reliable movement of goods and services.
