Aviation moving toward digitalization, electrification and sustainability

by Kali Persall

In the not-so-distant past, the idea that waterfalls, butterfly gardens and canopy bridges could find a home within an airport — the most unlikely of places — may have been chalked up to science fiction. But these features are real, and they reside in Singapore’s Changi Airport, one of the largest air hubs in Asia. In the Jetsons-style universe that is fast becoming our reality, airlines have chief digital officers instead of chief information officers; commercial airplanes run on hydrogen or feedstock rather than jet fuel; and AI powers every aspect of the traveler experience. These innovations represent a larger transformation taking place within the aviation sector — a response to the growing need to modernize and decarbonize.

by Emily Foshag and Nina Liu

This is despite the bounce we saw at the end of 2023, when a series of softer inflation prints and weaker economic data catalyzed a sharp pullback in bond yields.
