2020 \u2013 a truly<\/span> incisive year for the aviation industry \u2013 is drawing to a close. As a highlight at the end of the year, we\u2019ve had a very special guest at our “ZAL Innovation Talks” series: the founder and editor-in-chief of “<\/span>The Air Current<\/span><\/a>“, Jon Ostrower<\/span>. Together with Roland Gerhards, CEO of ZAL GmbH, he dove into some of the currently most exciting topics the aviation industry has to offer<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

One was low emission flying. Even though marketing expectations and technical realities don\u2019t always match there, Ostrower <\/span>is convinced<\/span>: the decarbonization in aviation is THE most important trend of the future<\/span>! There are also a lot of other trends that have been emerging over the past years \u2013 changes we didn’t expect to see until 2025 and beyond \u2013 that are taking hold a lot faster now<\/span>. Quote Ostrower: \u201cWhat the pandemic has shown us is that the trends in the pathways that we’re on are <\/span>really<\/span> going to be moving so much faster<\/span>!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

An equally<\/span> exciting topic was the long-term changes in the health awareness of airline passengers<\/span>. Both interview partners agreed: Digitization or artificial intelligence will <\/span>be applied<\/span> more <\/span>frequently<\/span> in the cabin of the future, to contain the spread of viruses and <\/span>minimize<\/span> the risk of contagious diseases<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Other talking points of the evening included future developments in regional air traffic and the successor to the Boeing 737 Max. <\/span>Yet, it wasn\u2019t only the topics or interview partners that made the event international. Over 50% of the audience joined from outside Germany, ranging from the USA to South Africa and faraway Indonesia<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the event, one more highlight awaited the participants: As a thank-you, ZAL raffled off five subscriptions to “The Air Current” among those present<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
