Scenario Results | Criteria of Research

RELEVANCE

To have impact, the scenarios should connect directly with the mental maps and concerns of the user.

INTERNAL CONSISTENCY

The scenarios should be internally consistent to be effective.

DISSIMILITUDE

The scenarios should be archetypal and describe generically different futures rather than variations of one theme.

LASTING EQUILIBRIUM

Each scenario ideally should describe an equilibrium or a state in which the system might exist for some length of time, as opposed to being highly transient.

Slide 26

Scenario A | Storyboard

The worldwide political situation is still tense but there aren’t anyescalations. International trade agreements have been establishedbetween Europe, USA and South Korea which encourages the globaltrade market, securing an annual average GDP growth of 1.5% inEurope and Northern America. Due to the continued acceleratedglobalization the strong economic growth of BRICS states willcontinue, averaging at about 3.5%.

Thanks to the stable economy and political situation, air traveldemand increases by an average of 5.5% annually. Even thoughprocesses are streamlined, more planes are indispensable over time.

Manual and semi-autonomous systems are being replaced by fullyautonomous systems in high risk areas to increase workplace safety.Thanks to AI, ground support vehicles now drive autonomously,reducing costs and time between overhaul for airlines and airports.Tasks like refuelling the plane with water and kerosene are fulfilledautomatically. This leads to reduced costs for airports and airlines.

Slide 27

Scenario A | StoryboardIn 2022, the Federal Ministry of Automation is founded in Germany,based on a Japanese proof of concept in 2021. It is designed aroundthe principles of lean management and is in itself highly automatedand flexible. Its competences are: Setting standards for automatedsystems and providing certification marks, as well as workinginternationally to reduce the threat of cyber attacks and activelypushing the development of automated systems by providingsubsidies.

The federal ministries of automation of the western hemispherecollaborate in the Global Automation Treaty (GAT, 2024) toencourage investments in start-ups around automated technologiesthrough tax incentives. The demand for well educated people is veryhigh.

In disputes between stakeholders and unions in the EU, the unionsachieved a guideline, obligating the industry to offer re-education forat least 80% of the affected workforce. However, in developingcountries like India and Bangladesh, the integration of young, lowqualified workers represents a big problem, as the fight continuesbetween unemployed people and the application of automatedsystems. Bangladesh’s Attempt to ban automated systems if theytake away jobs from humans backfired, resulting in an economiccrisis in Bangladesh which is still affecting peoples lives today.

Slide 28

Scenario A | Storyboard

In 2030 the average passenger expects to see a cheap, yetpersonalized travel experience. To meet this expectation high qualitydata around each passenger is generated and shared between thesingle service providers to achieve a comfortable, fast and easy D2Dchain.

The traffic load on the way to the airports decreases, even though airtravel demand rises. Based on worldwide standards for autonomousdriving established at GAT in 2024, automated vehicles such asdrones, cars, busses and trains prevent traffic jams, especially in thededicated autonomous lanes, where they are able to drive faster andreduce the safe distance. This significantly improves the quality ofaccess to the airport for the passenger. Autonomous cars are oftenoffered in car sharing services, creating the advantage that thepassenger doesn’t have to drive, as well as worrying about a parkingspot. The big parking lots are now used for autonomous vehiclesfrom car sharing services offered by the airport as well as for rentalparking space to preserve airport earnings.

In 2027, the first drone taxi pilot project is tested which evolved fromthe Airbus Vahana project. With this approach, even more time canbe saved during the D2D travel time.

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Slide 29

Scenario A | Storyboard

Upon arriving at the airport, the passenger checks in at the safetygate by showing his ticket and ID. The baggage is being dropped offat the automated station. The system matches the ID with the face-scanner data, screens the person and guides the passenger to hisgate on moving walkways. If the algorithms trigger a warning, thepassenger is further screened by security staff.

For airports, the integration of automation initially caused a problem.A lot less space is needed, as baggage drop, security check andemigration merge, as well as immigration, baggage claim andcustoms. The attempt to fill out these areas with more customerattractions failed in part as passenger servicing time was reduced.Later on this problem was resolved by the rising air demand,implicating an higher amount of passengers.

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Slide 30

Scenario A | Storyboard

A lot is at stake with the strong market penetration of ICT. Cybercriminals are continuously launching attacks to gain access to highquality data, but as the systems revolutionized in the recent years,major IT systems are robust, so that they detect and defend againstmost attacks independently.

In 2026 the Geneva Cyber Convention (GCC) is adopted, entailingpolitical rules for cyber warfare, prohibiting attacks on civilians (dataleaks) and attacks on critical infrastructure (trains, nuclear reactors,autonomous cars, electricity grid, …). Also the threat coming fromnon-government cyber criminals was recognized. First steps to buildan international team to defend critical infrastructure and thepopulation from those attacks worldwide were taken and sincefurther expanded.

Scenario A | Storyboard

privacy ranking 2007

In addition to the high market penetration of ICT, the revolutionaryphysical automated systems effectively lower processing times forthe passenger. The intuitive interfaces for the passenger are wellaccepted by tech-savvy travelers, however older generations have ahard time trusting the new systems. As AI still has not reached ahumanoid level of intelligence, service points, customer care andother jobs that require human cognitive functions as emotions andcreativity are still occupied by humans. Media agencies mostlyreport positively about the application of new systems on behalf ofthe ministries to support user acceptance.

In the background, some ground handling tasks are still being donemanually since the architecture of planes hardly changed. However,the workforce is supported by exoskeletons and other highlyadaptable automated systems.

The high reliability level needed for the complex tasks in thebackground as well as on the interface to humans is guaranteedthrough machine certifications by the federal ministries ofautomation which confirm an average operating time of at least99.65%

After the big hacking disaster in 2023, where the database of theJohn-F.-Kennedy Airport was hacked and released to public, cyber-attacks became increasingly unsuccessful, due to robust defensesystems since then.

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Slide 32

Scenario A | Storyboard

The attitude towards data privacy is relatively unchanged comparedto 2016. Society is divided – many fear the effects of big data, butironically they still share every little bit of it if it brings them anybenefit. On the other side data privacy activists warn of thisdevelopment and demand a more transparent handling of data bybig companies. They achieve the Worldwide Data-usage Act in 2024,giving the customer the ability to object commercial data usage.

Inclusive DevelopmentCoevolution Instead of Revolution

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Slide 43

Scenario B | Storyboard

Until 2030 the global GDP has increased by 2,5% annually, as wellas the air travel demand, which increased 4,5% a year.

The increase of political instability and the continuing high threat ofcyber-attacks, have lead to an overall higher demand in security andreliability for automated systems. Only the best systems, in terms ofsafety and reliability, are introduced.

As politics are focused on other topics (due to political instability),automation technologies are marginally regulated by legalframeworks, what leads to few standards in this sector. Only securityrelevant processes have high requirements.

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Slide 44

Scenario B | Storyboard

Therewith, due to the high market demand physical and ICTautomation technologies have been improved continuously andintroduced stepwise as mature technologies. They are broadly usedin all phases of the journey and can be found in almost all majorairports around the world in the form of (semi-) automated systems,working with a high reliability comparative to the level of non-automated systems in 2016 and a increased economic efficiency.Examples for automated systems: fully automated security check,baggage drop off, immigration/emigration.

To address customer demands, existing MSPs have startedcollaborating on a large scale by offering integrated D2Dtransportation services. Enabled by bilateral sharing of high qualitydata between collaborating MSPs, a customer can book his journeyfrom D2D through a single portal and then experience thetransportation services of the different MSPs as one product.

Slide 46

Scenario B | Storyboard

Quality of access to airports has been enhanced in terms of travelduration, comfort and individualization: Automated technologies areperforming most of the tasks previously done by passengers duringtheir travel. Therefore, passengers have more time and can enjoycustomer tailored services along the journey for example.

The traffic load along the passenger processes has not greatlychanged: Automation has improved efficiency and process timesleading to higher airport capacities, however passenger numbershave risen simultaneously, so that the overall reduction in D2D traveltime has been moderate. A case example for this can be thefollowing: A passenger can check in his baggage in the autonomousvehicle driving him to his terminal and leave it there, and then pick itup again once he has reached his final journey destination. Thuswaiting times for baggage drop off and pick up are avoided,increasing the overall throughput capacity of the airport.

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Slide 47

Scenario B | StoryboardIn many fields, automation is found in the form of semi-automatedsystems, requiring a human operator in a supervising function. E.g.non-intrusive automated security systems have been introduced,with special checks performed by humans if necessary; Groundhandling is partly automated, with human operators still required forspecial or safety critical tasks.

Since human operators are still a required part of the (semi-)automated system and work safety has improved due to automation(physically demanding tasks are executed by machines), unions havenot opposed the introduction of automation.

New technologies in commercial aviation are introducedincrementally and therefore do not overwhelm the customer. Insteadof introducing revolutionary, immature technologies, the introducedautomatization developments are working faultless and reliable,leading to a high acceptance among passengers.

In this world automation doesn’t revolutionize the way of travellingimmediately but rather slowly and steadily, therefore it doesn’toverwhelm all involved parties (passengers, the market, allstakeholders). Revolution always leads to conflict in certain areas(regulation, passenger acceptance, unions) but a inclusivecoevolution, where human and machine work alongside each othermight result in a plausible and bright scenario for the future ofautomation in commercial aviation.

Slide 58

Scenario C | Storyboard

Multilateral co-operations between Western nations become weaker.At the same time, an increasing number of threats and thereforeinsecurities hinder the establishment of strong multinationalpartnerships, while existing contracts are being broken up. Thisresults in a “reduced European Union” existing with its coremembers only. This leads to heavily fluctuating exchange rates andhigh risks and volatility on the financial markets. Moreover, after theUSA leaves the NATO due to an increasing distrust in militarycollaboration, multiple other nations follow this incident. As a result,Russia is able to establish stronger bonds under pressure with itsneighboring countries and new partners, including the USA in thesecond row as well.

In the Middle East a new alliance, called "Middle EasternLeague"(M.E.L) is founded by the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar,Bahrain and several other Arabian countries. One part of the contractregulates freedom of trade and travel between its contract partners,preferring M.E.L. states while reducing foreign trade and transport.Meanwhile the World Bank estimates the worldwide economicalgrowth to less than 2% for the upcoming 20 years. The passenger airtraffic may increase by 4,5% due to high global population growth.

Slide 59

Scenario C | Storyboard

While the trust between nations decreases, a rising number of cyberterrorist hacker attacks and threats affects the national security ofmany countries. Moreover, a successful threat by, so calledhacktivists against AT&T diminishes public faith in American IT,automated and intelligent systems. The occurrence is presented bymedia coverage in an exaggerating negative way. Those incidentsmake security to the key of all interest for all new strategic programsat ICAO and for all other regulations in commercial aviation. Newspecial security guidelines for automation are established in everypossible working field. Most of the existing technologies are not ableto comply with those new standards. Therefore only high-standardand expensive technologies can succeed in the market and will bedeveloped by nearly every single country or union on their own.

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Slide 60

Scenario C | Storyboard

Most of those new revolutionary technologies in automation can notbe implemented due to a lack of public faith. Passengers tend torefuse physical automated systems in comfort areas and sometimessecurity areas as well because of negative media coverage aboutformer accidents. As an future projection example: After theintroduction of fully automated “robo-taxis” at the Frankfurt airport,there has just been a slack demand and therefore those systemscould not be integrated in most of the other travel chains which areconnected to commercial aviation ground infrastructures. At thesame time, there are upcoming problems with the quality of accessat big airports. Strong growth of metropolitan areas result in hightraffic jams especially during peak hours. Automated systems couldsolve those problems but besides the strict regulations theinvestment costs are too high.

Although people try to avoid physical automated systems, most stillbuy and use latest mobile devices, such as smartphones and tabletswith AI and other revolutionary technologies. ICT stays an integralpart of a passenger’s life and social media is further established asthe most popular communication tool. In general ICT users don´tclaim about commercial data sharing if search algorithms andsoftware tools are running automated in the background.

Slide 61

Scenario C | Storyboard

At Munich Airport an implementation of a new automated servicegoes completely wrong: A university research project introduced anapplication for smartphones to replace physical signs and airportservice staff for guidance through airport terminals. The app hasbecome a commercially successful business model which is sold toother international airports as well after a short period of timebecause unions couldn’t block the app introduction due to differentlegal frameworks in different countries. One day, there has been acomplete system hack. The flight booking system broke down aswell because of billions of faked terminal-gate search app-requests.As a result Munich Airport and all the other participating airportsremove the app and its support and return back to former terminalservice concepts which cost a multiple.

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Slide 62

Scenario C | Storyboard

The low time efficiency of most commercial aviation services andtherefore additional waiting times in queues and traffic jams lead tounpredictable travelling comfort for passengers. Moreover there is alack of incentives for collaboration between different mobility serviceproviders due to a strict legal framework. Contracts are barelynegotiable, due to new and harder job safety rules. Furthermorehigh security standards make it hard for new business partnersentering the market or establishing international businesscollaborations.

To improve the work conditions inside airports, American andGerman unions fight for the implementation of semi-automatedsystems for the airport security without reducing staff and workplacesafety and support as well e.g. with exoskeletons. In most of themodern countries it is difficult to hire young staff for simple processand production work. Moreover it is not allowed to hire immigrantsfrom foreign countries for those kinds of job. Most American airportsare under pressure to introduce a cost intensive mixture of direct andindirect airport security methods. Because of new national U.S.-security standards which have to be fulfilled by the connectedinternational airports as well the amount of incoming and outgoingU.S.-flights has to be reduced.

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Slide 63

Scenario C | Storyboard

In Europe, some airports introduce new ICT technologies in theirairport information systems to enable real-time information betweenemployees achieving a more responsible and agile ICT-system. Thisresults in a higher workplace safety and improves the economicefficiency of nearly all of the concerning systems. The genericstructure of those systems allows the implementation at most of themajor airports which have to sponsor the costs unwillingly. Unions inGermany encourage the introduction of airport information systemsin order to achieve a higher level of workplace security and safety. Inmodern international airports exoskeletons and comparabletechnologies are being used as a standard, such as in new openedairports in Istanbul, the Middle East and East Asia.

Slide 74

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Synthesis | Scenario Overview

To give a brief overview, the factors that decisively influenceautomation to drive it into a direction within the three scenarios.Therefore these factors can be seen as the points in which the threescenarios differ the most. For Example, the Revolutionarytechnologies with a high market penetration of scenario ‘Golden Agesof Automation’ can only be achieved with extremely strong growth ofAir traffic demand coupled with a ministry supporting automation,which is not present in the scenarios ‘Inclusive Development’ or‘Security First’. In contrary, Politics, Regulations and a comparativelyslow growth in Air traffic demand is what hinders automation tospread in the Security first scenario.

Another key factor that sets the rails for either one of the threescenarios is passenger acceptance, which is strongly tied with thereliability of the automated system. The low passenger Acceptance isanother reason why technologies, though highly advanced (more thanin scenario Inclusive Dev.), ultimately fail to penetrate the market. Inscenario ‘Inclusive Development’ the evolutionary and inclusivedevelopment of automation leads to a passenger acceptance, that iseven higher than in scenario ‘Golden Ages of Automation’ becausethe technology doesn’t overwhelm the passenger. These six factorsresult in, or are at least closely tied with, previously mentioned factors.

Synthesis | It’s a Matter of Perspective

If technological innovations are beneficial always depends on astakeholder’s perspective, which varies in each scenario.

Example: Fast pace development of technology in scenario A wouldmake it vary hard for regional airports to compete. Full marketpenetration of baggage carrying robots at international airports wouldbe rather negative. As it would entail high investment costs withoutadditional revenue.

The following three slides show in detail how stakeholder perspectiveson technological innovations might vary. As an example passengerexperience is compared to advantages for airlines. Both perspectivesare driven by different factors: advantages for airlines are ratherrationally driven while passenger experiences are more emotional.

If an innovation is perceived as positive by most stakeholders, strongmarket penetration is likely to happen, as these interest groups will bepushing automation (upper right square). If a technology is perceivedby major stakeholders as rather negative it can be assumed thatmarket penetration will be difficult or even impossible to achieveunder given circumstances (lower right square, especially alltechnologies below black curve).

Automation needs and generatesdata. Analytics of passenger datacan be of high value to specificstakeholders, e.g. analyzingpassenger flows throughoutairports for future airportplanning.

Slide 83

“Automation in Commercial Aviation 2030+” Final Presentation | 17.01.2017

Synthesis | Take Home Messages

Less a business model but more a marketing strategy could beabusing the uncertainty around the ecologic efficiency of automation.Whether automation will be ecologically efficient or not is uncertain.This can be used for marketing purposes, depicting highly automatedAirports as ecologically efficient and therefore ‘green’ can result in alot of positive publicity. Only an elaborate and expensive study mightreveal if automation is “truly green”.

Data generation will be important in many different areas(personalized user experience, personalized commercials etc.) andtherefore Airlines and Airports will be eager to extract as muchinformation as possible from the customer. In some cases thepassenger will happily provide that information, but in some cases hewon’t know that information is being extracted, e.g. while using apersonal flight assistance app. Passengers will give away morepersonal data than ever before, whether they like it or not.!

The emotional aspect, that the passenger as a stakeholder brings tothe table can’t be overlooked. In none of the three scenarios there'seven a chance that cognitive, humanoid robots will replace a humanin a supervising function. Further, no Humanoid AI will replace ahuman cabin crew member during flight because of their utmostimportance as a mediator in conflicts.

The vast amount of opportunities like increase in efficiency,workplace safety etc. that automation can offer for commercialaviation makes it an inevitability. Definitely not every part of the D2Dtravel chain will be automated, but some parts of it like the baggagedrop will be automated for sure.

Since automation will be coming stakeholders will have to innovateto dominate other competitors. Especially in a fast developingindustry that is coupled to informatics, mechanics and electronics,like automation it is detrimental to stay ahead of the yourcompetitors. Even small improvements like in scenario inclusivedevelopment can generate a lot of success since the demand will behigh.

Will automation be successful and have a positive impact on the aviation market?

Yes! However, …

... different stakeholders might have different reasons to implement automated systems and will see different implications on their business models.

... the reliability (incl. cyber security) and economic efficiency of the systems will be key.

... the reachable degree of automation will be dependent of many different factors (while ICT is an enabler in most scenarios, physical automation is lagging behind).

... customers will become sensible, if they have to pay with their personal data.
