On the Future of Aviation

R.O.
(Just as I was listening to Jerry Goodman's "On the Future of Aviation" I read the article below. Airlines should revert to balloons and zeppelins instead or else go bankrupt) By the end of October, we may see Singapore Airlines take to the skies once again on commercial flights. These flights aim to ferry around domestic passengers on no-destination trips. Dubbed ‘flights to nowhere’, these are slated to take off from Changi Airport and land back there three hours later. With borders still closed for leisure travel, such flights will help generate revenue for the ailing airline, especially after reporting an SG $1 billion loss for the financial year’s first quarter. Passenger carrier numbers had also dropped 99.5% for the flag carrier.

Quantas are doing the same.

Reports say that contrails are worse for global warming than co2. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/17092020/aviation-emissions-climate-change-greenhouse-gas
