The challenges of high-priced oil for aviation
Aviation is completely dependent upon petroleum as its fuel source. Since no practical energy substitute is readily available for commercial aviation, a scarcity of petroleum relative to future demand will present a major challenge for the air transport industry and aviation policy.
Are we really facing the end of cheap oil? What will be the impact of the end of cheap oil for airline operations, airports and consumers? Are there any alternative fuels available for air transport?
