A new year is upon us, and after a difficult 12 months, the aviation sector is as optimistic as ever for a bounce back to something near the levels of ‘the before times’, despite an unsettling Omicron-flavoured spectre looming over airports and airlines.
Whether you are on an iPad, desktop or smartphone, you can read the magazine for free online.
This issue, we hear from some of the industry leaders as they give their predictions for the trends we’ll see taking hold in 2022, both for airlines and airports. We also highlight how new ultraviolet technology is being implemented to help keep airports clean – a particularly high priority due to obvious pandemic-related reasons. We also learn about a new app that is helping airport and airline staff combat wildlife trafficking in aviation.
And, as you would have seen already, our cover story this month dives into the new EU regulations coming into effect this year. The bloc’s long-awaited travel and information authorisation scheme is due to roll out this year, but what exactly does it entail? We find out all about it.

Next issue preview
Across the globe, airlines and airports are frequently subject to delays caused by plane pushback approval, bird strikes, weather conditions, and more. If not reported in due time these incidents can result in angry passengers and complications.
In our next issue, we speak to start-up UnDelay about its solution to this issue, combining AI and machine learning to process hundreds of radio conversations and allowing airports and airlines can see if a flight will be delayed – before the delay is reported.
