The aviation industry is rebounding from the effects of COVID-19 with a renewed interest in air travel. With the gradual lifting of travel restrictions and widespread vaccine distribution, passenger numbers are approaching pre-pandemic levels. A top priority for the industry is to enhance the passenger experience by implementing new technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Examples of these technologies include autonomous robots for retail and food delivery at airports, chatbots using AI and ML, and virtual reality experiences in the metaverse. Companies are partnering with tech providers to automate cleaning and maintenance activities, enhance health and safety, and meet changing passenger expectations.
