The article outlines some human factors affecting the operation and safety of passenger air transport given the massive increase in the use of the VLA. Decrease of the impact of the CO2 world emissions is one of the key goals for the new aircraft design. The main wave is going to reduce the burned fuel. Therefore, the eco-efficiency engines combined with reasonable economic operation of the aircraft are very important from an aviation perspective. The prediction for the year 2030 says that about 90% of people, which will use long-haul flights to fly between big cities. So, the A380 was designed exactly for this time period, with a focus on the right capacity, right operating cost and right fuel burn per seat. There is no aircraft today with better fuel burn combined with eco-efficiency per seat, than the A380. The very large aircrafts (VLAs) are the future of the commercial passenger aviation. Operating cost versus safety or CO2 emissions versus increasing automation inside the new generation aircraft. Almost 80% of the world aircraft accidents are caused by human error based on wrong action, reaction or final decision of pilots, the catastrophic failures of aircraft systems, or air traffic control errors are not so frequent. So, we are at the beginning of a new age in passenger aviation and the role of the human factor is more important than ever.

The continued expansion of air transport is bound up with its possibility of producing ever lower fares. Thus the future of both sides of industry depends on the success in this field. This paper notes some of the difficulties seen from the manufacturer's side in this rather inexact science. It is essentially a personal view not associated with any one Company's views, but based on some years of experience in the industry. It answers no questions, but is aimed rather at provoking discussions on some of the important issues, particularly those which tend to be taken for granted.It should be stated also at the outset that this paper is obviously affected by the current beleaguered state of the British airframe industry. There is nothing in it, however, which does not apply to any nation's airframe industry and it is not intended as criticism of the UK one. It is certainly not the intention to add to the volume of anti-British comment which is so valuable to our competition.

The article covers issues related to the availability and use of terrestrial ground infrastructure existing in the Tri-City area. Its main purpose is to present and recommend functional solutions that will enable optimal development of air transport in the Pomeranian region. Such a solution would be a described model based on two complementary airports of public use. Thanks to this, the demand for air traffic from commercial users as well as non-commercial users in the area of general aviation will be better met. One of the basic assumptions for the presented solution is the complementarity, and effective use of existing resources and capabilities now and in the future. The whole is based on historical and current quantitative data and forecasts for the development of air traffic.

“Future skills” increase employees’ prospects in the labor market, particularly in dynamic times, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. (Not only) in Germany, flight attendants represent an occupational group without state-recognized vocational occupation who are particularly affected by the pandemic due to serious and long-lasting declines in air transport volumes. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the future skills of flight attendants play an important role when applying for jobs in other industries. An empirical survey (n = 273) from April 2021 indicates that German-speaking flight attendants possess some of the future skills most frequently identified in key studies on future competencies, as well as extensive language skills, but have deficits in “working with computer systems” and “programming”. Pro-active training of employees in future skills, especially in crisis-prone professions, could facilitate future transitions into new professional fields.

It is surely of the greatest importance that those engaged on the development of Civil Aircraft should give attention to all aspects of the economic operation of air transport and consider indirect operating costs and revenue, as well as the direct costs. This is no easy field of study and one may be accused of asking questions rather than providing answers. However, no discussion of short-haul transport can be complete without the fullest consideration of all aspects of airline cost.Although the airframe, engine and accessory manufacturing industries are primarily concerned with the provision of vehicles, systems and equipment for Civil operators, they are also closely concerned with the utilisation of equipment and with the scale and direction of the developments of air transport in the future. We therefore subject to continuous study all areas of potential air transport growth and, of these, the short-haul domain is now of special concern.
