As the aviation industry gathers at the Paris Air Show, aircraft manufacturers are cautiously optimistic. Demand for international travel is growing, although inflation and supply chain issues still dampen the mood. In this special edition of People & Profit from Le Bourget, FRANCE 24's Charles Pellegrin talks to Boeing's senior VP Brendan Nelson about the industry's rebound.
Also, almost a century after the Hindenburg disaster, airship travel is making an unexpected comeback. FRANCE 24's Yuka Royer takes a look at tech firms hoping to carry cargo and passengers in electrically powered versions.
Sustainability is on everyone's mind as the aviation industry, which currently represents 3 percent of all global carbon emissions, has the stated goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. The latest innovations aiming to get us there are being showcased at the Paris Air Show. VoltAero CEO Jean Botti tells Charles Pellegrin about his company's Cassio 330 hybrid electric plane.
