# Intro. to Aviation Science Tourism is the movement of people from the origin to the destination. ## Types of Tourism - **Domestic Tourism:** Travel within the same country (ex: Cairo to Alexandria). - **International Tourism:** Travel from one country to another (ex: Egypt to Spain). ## Types of International Tourism - **Inbound tourism:** Tourists visit your country from other countries. For example, if you are in Egypt, inbound tourists would be people coming from the U.S., France or Canada. - **Outbound Tourism:** People from your country travel to other countries. For example, if you are in Egypt, outbound tourism would be Egyptians traveling from Egypt to places like the U.S., France, or Mexico. ## Aviation is an Industry 1. **Labor:** Aviation offers jobs directly or indirectly from airline jobs and pilot careers. The aviation industry offers many jobs, whether you prefer a ground-based position, something in the air, working in public, or in an office for a governmental position. 2. **Capital/Investments:** Investments are made in building airports, casting airlines, installing air crafts manufacturing and more. For example, aircraft is an investment. 3. **Product/Service:** The industry offers a product which is a ticket that a tourist buys to travel. With this ticket, travelers get services on the flight such as catering (food and beverages), entertainment, and the service offered by the crew members. ### Features of the Product - **Tangible:** Aircraft, parts and components, ground equipment, tickets, terminals, infrastructure - **Intangible:** Brand amenities, reputation, customer service, safety and security, connectivity - **Inseparable:** Shops and restaurants, lounge access, parking - **Heterogeneous:** Air traffic control, ground handling, security screening - **Homogeneous:** Airport services, passenger profiles, safety and security protocols, ground handling procedures ## Features of Airline Infrastructure ### Transport Networks as Roads - **Terminals:** Airports - **Vehicles:** Different Types of Airplanes - **Cooperators:** Air Traffic Control ### The Terminal - **The terminal:** The building where travelers change their mode of transport from ground to air: 1. Purchasing tickets 2. Handling luggage 3. Boarding and disembarking from the plane 4. Security checks ## How Does the Tourist Choose His Transportation? It depends on: 1. Price 2. Destination 3. Time 4. Reason 5. Departure Points 6. Comfort and Safety ## Reasons for the Development of Aviation Industry After WWII 1. Experienced Pilots 2. Public Interest 3. Better Maps and Knowledge 4. Better Planes and Equipment 5. Cheap Planes 6. Increased Knowledge ## How to Measure the Effect of Transportation technology on Tourism 1. More Travelers 2. Comfortable Travel 3. Faster Travel 4. Larger Planes 5. Safe Travel 6. Affordable Prices The relation between Tourism and Transportation is directly proportional. ## How Technology Has Enabled Travelers to Move 1. Faster 2. Safer 3. Lower Cost ## The Modern Era - Railways presented the first transport infrastructure and is the reason for the development of the modern aviation industry in 1948 - After WW1, aircraft design seemed to make very little progress; however, after WW2, civil air transport developed rapidly. - The greatest change in civil aviation came with the introduction of jet airlines. - In 1976, the Boeing 747SP (Special Performance) was introduced between New York and Tokyo. - Then, the 757 appeared in 1982, the developed version of 727. For smaller capacity, there are the Airbus A-310 and A-320. ## Aircraft Size Aircraft sizes vary greatly in terms of: 1. Length 2. Wingspan 3. Engines 4. Velocity and Range ## Types of Jets Jet aircrafts can be divided into: - **Narrow Body:** Aircrafts that have one walking aisle with two or three seats on each side. The largest narrow-body airlines typically hold 280 passengers. - **Wide Body:** Aircrafts that have two walking aisles and thus a middle section of seats.
