Who has ever heard of a single-engine aircraft being safer than a twin-engine one?
That is precisely what we want to see for aircraft too.
The aircraft which are replaced are not always put into retirement, but simply go to another company in new colours.
For many years now there has been a decision that you could only take one piece of hand luggage into the aircraft.
Concern for passenger security at airports and on board aircraft continues to be very much a live issue.
Moreover, it is stipulated that the noisiest aircraft should pay more for the greater nuisance that they cause.
Consequently, aircraft noise has become a plague to an increasing proportion of the population.
It is a way of shortening flights and avoiding aircraft flying around unnecessarily.
