The aviation sector encompasses companies that offer transportation services through air travel for both passengers and cargo. These airlines may either own or lease aircraft to provide these services and sometimes engage in partnerships with other airlines for mutual benefits. Companies operating in this sector typically hold licenses issued by government aviation authorities or possess air operating certificates. The industry encompasses a diverse range of services, ranging from single-aircraft operations for cargo or mail delivery to full-service airlines with extensive international operations and multiple aircraft types. Airlines are categorized based on the scope of their services, including intra-continental, domestic, regional, intercontinental, or international operations, and may operate on either a charter or scheduled basis.

While airborne passenger and cargo traffic experienced a notable increase over the past few years, the global airlines industry witnessed a decline in recent years. Factors such as fluctuating fuel prices, intensified competition, and the impact of COVID-19 have exerted a downward influence on industry earnings. Nevertheless, prior to the pandemic, the industry benefited from a surge in global per capita income and favorable macroeconomic indicators, driving substantial demand for airline passenger transportation.

In recent years, there has been a surging demand in the tourism industry. This not only directly drives the demand for air travel but also contributes to a broader economic ecosystem that benefits the airline industry. This synergy between tourism and aviation is a significant factor in the continued growth and prosperity of the airline sector.

Further, the airline industry's efficiency, speed, and global reach are instrumental in driving an increase in cross-border trade. It facilitates the movement of goods across borders, supporting various industries and contributing to the growth of the global economy.

Domestic airlines are further propelled by the expansion of fleets, a growing appetite for fuel-efficient planes, continuous advancements in aviation technology, such as the utilization of lightweight carbon composites in aircraft production and an uptick in the volume of air travelers.
