- W581848260 abstract "This article describes how the closure of the entireEuropean airspace in mid-April of 2010 while a cloud of volcanic ash drifted toward the continent offered a painful reminder of two truths about jet travel: modern society can't function without it and the whole system is easily thrown into chaos. The shutdown, which left roughly 10 million people stranded, was only the latest in a long line of predicaments for the industry. In recent years, airlines and passengers have struggled with terrorist threats, a fuel-price spike and a global economic meltdown. These difficulties have provided a backdrop of more mundane headaches including bad weather, over-stretched infrastructure, broadsides from environmental activists and calls for greater taxation of air travel. It took the cancellation of more than 100,000 flights to make the world think a bit harder about the future of air travel. Aviation officials are hoping that the episode will persuade governments to help the battered sector. The European Union Transport Commissioner says the crisis has put in stark relief the critical role that aviation plays in today’s society. He says often times we do not appreciate something until it's not there. With luck, the painful episode will result in improvements for both passengers and carriers, such as better air-traffic control and faster crisis-management. But recent history suggests commercial air travel will simultaneously make big strides forward while also reinforcing its worst traits. Europe's shutdown neatly illustrated the aviation industry's split personality--some carriers adapted their operations to help stranded passengers while others left customers struggling to get to their destinations. The article describes how air travel is increasingly a tale of diverging realities." @default.
