Air travel in 2023 was plagued by numerous complaints and disruptions, with a significant increase in consumer grievances compared to previous years. The shortage of air-traffic controllers, airplanes, and pilots contributed to delays, cancellations, and safety concerns. Despite improvements in reliability and increased hiring, the structural problems in the industry remain unresolved, indicating that travelers may continue to face higher fares and more disruptions in 2024. Additionally, the lack of funding for modernizing equipment and increasing capacity poses further challenges for the Federal Aviation Administration. However, despite these issues, demand for air travel remains high, which may lead to higher fares in the coming year. [Extracted from the article] |
