Aviation

Artzia.com Recreation Aviation :

All forms of flying, and the uses to which aircraft are put. Aviation is divided into two principal areas. Military aviation deals with the use of aircraft by military forces, either as a weapon in its own right, or as a platform from which to launch other weapons, together with the aircraft's use as a reconnaissance vehicle and military transport. Civil aviation deals with the organization and use of aircraft as a means of commercial transportation.

The principal interest is the use of aircraft on scheduled and chartered flights to carry passengers and cargo, but the subject also covers the use of aircraft for pleasure, business, and medical services. Because of the international character of civil aviation, governments play a major role in its conduct and regulation, through both national legislation and international agreements. This governmental influence was a major factor in commercial airline operation until the early 1980s, when the US domestic market was deregulated.

The result was a massive increase in competition, which led in turn to a reorganization of the airlines into larger groupings. It seems likely that this process will continue in the international market, which will lead to an increase in air travel, and increased pressure on airports and air traffic control.
