The advances in air travel are focused only for the upper class and this seems to have left others with no benefit. DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE?

It is believed by a few people that advancement in airways is only dedicated to the elite

class

and ,

thus

, common citizen is devoid of benefits from it. I disagree with

this

notion and reasons to strengthen my viewpoint are discussed in subsequent paragraphs. On the one hand, some individuals opine that certain facilities in air travel focus only on elite

class

and nothing concrete have been done for common citizens. As various expensive

services

such

as sleeping beds in the plane are not affordable for the lower

class

, most of these

services

are availed by only rich

class

.

However

, I disagree with

this

view as air companies are earning more from upper classes owing to which low price tickets are being provided to common traveller.

For example

, Qatar Airways earns 70% of its revenue from a business

class

, thereby providing economical tickets to all other users.

On the other hand

, in my perspective, the advancement of technology has provided better

services

to all the classes.

First

and foremost, after the evolution of certain aspects in terms of superior navigation technology as well as security, crashes has declined dramatically.

This

is primarily due to the fact that the probability of engine failures tends to zero after the extensive research in the field of aeronautics. Not only

this

, training with the help of state of the art simulators produce highly trained pilots in which they are examined several times before assigning any real task. These all developments are not confined to the elite

class

, indeed, they are for the whole community.

In addition

, a number of new

services

, irrespective of the

class

, are added from the past few years. It is seen that

services

such

as meals on the plane, wifi and screens for entertainment, are even provided to the economical

class

which are earlier just confined to the business

class

.

Furthermore

, the option of a direct flight, without any stoppage, is now available to all the passengers with the use of newly developed aeroplanes which require no stoppage for maintenance and refilling. To cite an example, German airway company Lufthansa is providing a direct flight from New Delhi to Frankfurt without any discrimination of

class

.

This

facility was not earlier possible with the old generation aircraft engines. Providing all these

services

to all the people clearly depicts that there is no partiality according to the

class

. To conclude, even though the upper

class

has been using new facilities which are expensive for the normal individual, still I believe evolution in terms of security is for all the citizens.
