Problems

As more regulations come out for maintenance on aircraft, the more expensive it becomes to maintain aircraft to keep them airworthy. Bill Burchell says, "There is a need for easier accessibility in the aircraft compartments to work more effectively and quickly." Also, there is a big problem with the recent rise in fuel cost. The price of aviation gas has risen over a dollar in the pass year. There is no relief in site, and there needs to be a new way to reserve fuel. With this there is a need to find a way to possibly make fewer trips possibly or use more fuel efficient engines. One way to solve this is making a bigger aircraft so I need of more aircrafts would be necessary (Ott). With the current Boeing 737 which is the most frequently used aircrafts there is simply not enough room on these aircraft to fly to certain place so therefore another aircraft is needed. With newer technologies there are currently aircraft engines that burn less fuel. There is a need to build an aircraft that could use this new type of technology. Another problem with more people taking to the sky there is more congestion at major airport than ever before. Some things that congestions are doing is delaying flight by sometimes hours and some aircraft up in the air having to hold in a holding pattern for excessive amounts of time. A bigger aircraft will relieve the congestion by eliminating some of the aircraft needed to fly.

Recommendation

Airlines should add the Airbus A380 to their fleet. This aircraft is by
