In the next five to ten years to come, fuel extracted from sugarcane might be used as an alternative to highly expensive jet fuel. Find out the in-depth details of engineered sugarcane as an alternative to currently used fossil fuels in aviation. 

Yes, you heard it right. It is certainly possible that in the next five to ten years to come, fuel extracted from sugarcane might be used as an alternative to highly expensive jet fuel. Engineered sugarcane could become the next source for fuel requirements by commercial airlines, which by the way also produces more natural oil that could help airlines with cost-cutting and to reduce the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions at the same time.

It could be an apt reply to the criticism that the global airline industry had been facing for an infinite period of time till present. The environmentalists have got a strong say for the longest of time against the heavy emissions of Carbon Dioxide and other greenhouse gases that aircrafts have been producing since their inception while they burn the fuel for propulsion to happen.

Recently made developments between Boeing and FlyDubai calls for the induction of 175 new Boeing 737 aircrafts to Dubai’s budget carrier, allowing it to more than triple its existing fleet of 61. In fact, this mammoth inventory requirement from FlyDubai has been recorded as the largest single-aisle order in Middle East’s history.   

Valued at $27 billion, the deal includes an option for an additional 50 aircrafts and has apparently followed the announcement made by FlyDubai at the Dubai Air Show in November this year. Further, this order will make FlyDubai operate a range of MAX aircrafts to strengthen its future growth as a global aviation leader. Once the order gets fully delivered, FlyDubai will be operating on all the latest variants of MAX aircrafts developed by Boeing, i.e. MAX8, MAX9 and MAX10.

 The first aircraft in this order is expected to be delivered in 2019, while the rest of the deliveries will be in instalments and until the timespan which extends till 2029. As a matter of fact, after adding this bulk order from FlyDubai, the total number of Boeing 737 aircrafts being ordered this year has already surpassed 4200, as per Boeing’s statement given on Friday which also establishes the fact that the surge in numbers as compared to the last year has come around as 640.

 Flydubai first ordered these aircrafts in the year 2013 and as per stats, 75 of them. It took delivery of five of these this every year.

 The CEO of Flydubai, Gaith Al Gaith stated in a media interaction recently that this is the airline’s largest order and third largest with Boeing in its whole eight-year history. He further said - “These aircrafts have made us fly 44 million passengers since our merger with Boeing. With a staggering 296 aircraft on order, we have now established ourselves as one of the world’s top ten airlines in terms of order backlog and we are hoping to continue enhancing the connectivity of this popular aviation hub.”

As the use of smartphones and mobiles is increasing with every day passing by, it is expected that by 2021, travel bookings will surpass 50% of total digital travel sales. It is quite apparent that more & more people these days are booking their leisure as well as business trips on the go with their smartphones always at their disposal, no matter where they are placed physically. Besides, there are logical reasons why mobile bookings are getting popular globally as it provides an unmatched comfort and ease. 

As a matter of fact, by the end of this year, digital travel sales in the US will climb up to $190 billion, out of which 40% will be coming via mobile devices. 

Here, travel sales include airline, cruise, hotel, car rental, accommodations & transportation.

Further, there are two stats to be watched out for in the coming years. Firstly, we are expecting that by 2019, digital travel sales will probably pass the $200 billion mark for the first time, and furthermore, by 2020, mobile travel sales will alone surpass $100 billion.  The other stats related to mobile travel bookings furnishes the fact that US adults are using smartphones much more heavily as compared to tablets. This year only 57.5 US million US adults have used a smartphone to book a trip, which is up by 14% in comparison to the last year. That also represents 81% of all mobile travel bookings.

Moreover, it’s much easier and preferable to book your travel at the last minute on mobile devices as it’s always there with you in your possession at all the times. There are better travel deals available for last minute online bookers on mobile apps as compared to desktop sites.

As per Chris Bendtsen, forecasting Analyst at eMarketer - “Consumers are booking more travel on mobile because of availability of larger smartphone screens, better and easier mobile payment methods and overall time spending habits shifting to mobile. Hotels, Airlines and online travel agencies have certainly improved upon their user interfaces and made them customer-friendly for both, mobile apps as well as their websites. ”

Also, it has been found in a study that adults in the US are not just booking their travel on mobile devices, but are also researching about those trips on their smartphones only. In 2017 only, the number of US adults that will research about the trips they will be on shortly will be around 140 million. And, out of these 140 million, 101 million will do so using their smartphones, which is up by 13.1 % as compared to last year.                                

Applications of Augmented Reality (AR) in travel.

VR smartphone apps are the future of Travel Industry in the upcoming times. The better the services offered by the app, the better will be the customer experience in terms of hotel, flights, holidays or excursion bookings. The role that these VR apps could play in boosting or elevating the overall customer experience is that it can help a customer to foresee or to get a prior feel of the destination, or the hotel room to be booked, or the in-flight luxuries they would have to their disposal when they would be actually travelling.

Long gone are the times when thinking of travelling sounded like a taxing and stressful event. Today, the times have changed drastically with travel becoming a luxurious affair. Further, the rigorous advancements in travel technology have provided frequent flyers and vacationers with an unexpected level of travel comfort and contentment.

Besides, Travel Technology in today’s times is ingrained with the life-altering power of Machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, IoT(Internet of Things), Virtual Reality and Voice-command Controls.

There were times when Televisions came with super-heavy consoles, where lifting a television set was a task in itself for a human. In present times, the same televisions come in a sleek, curved and a paper-thin design with 4k entertainment systems in which “turning on” and “changing channels” on them comes with a voice-command integration. That's the level of advancement in electronic evolution and artificial intelligence that exists in current times.

Moreover, Wearable Technology has emerged out of nowhere to make things even cushier. For instance, Apple watch became an instant hit the time it first came out. You want to check-in to your hotel room or a cruise cabin, there is a wearable that exists, which also can be used to order food and drinks or to buy a perfume.

There are technologically advanced beds available, that could sense your snoring and in accordance to that can lift your head. The same beds can also perform functions like cooling you down, warming you up and giving you a monitored support while you are asleep.

Alexa, an intelligent personal assistant developed by Amazon ensures home automation functionality, where voice-commands can be given in order to operate the refrigerator, room-temperature, the stereo, the blinds, music playback or the alarms.
