CEO Dr. Holger Bartel : The U.S. air industry in 2025 is flying high, marking one of the busiest travel years on record. Passenger volumes have surged beyond pre-pandemic levels, with airports and airlines reporting multiple record-breaking travel days. This growth is fueled by strong consumer demand, robust leisure travel, and the continued rebound of international routes. Airlines are expanding routes cautiously, focusing on operational efficiency and digital transformation.

After an exceptional rebound in 2024, growth in 2025 has begun to stabilize at a sustainable pace. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) projects that U.S. air traffic will expand at an average annual rate of 1.7% to 1.8% over the next two decades. Passenger demand remains strong, with total enplanements expected to exceed 900 million by year-end 2025.

Employment in the U.S. air transport sector continues to rise steadily as airlines rebuild their workforce to meet growing travel demand. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics notes ongoing recruitment for pilots, air traffic controllers, and maintenance technicians. However, staffing shortages persist, particularly in technical and safety-critical roles, creating operational bottlenecks. Airlines are addressing these challenges through accelerated training programs, partnerships with aviation schools.

Looking ahead, the U.S. air industry is expected to maintain moderate, steady growth through 2045, supported by population growth, rising disposable income, and technological advancements. Fleet renewal will continue as airlines replace aging aircraft with more fuel-efficient models. The integration of artificial intelligence, predictive maintenance, and digital air traffic management will further enhance efficiency and safety.
