The Military & Aerospace Electronics take:
28 January 2025 -Since the late 1970s, aviation has relied heavily on large hubs to manage passenger traffic, but increasing congestion is driving a shift toward regional and smaller airfields. Advances in technology are making this shift more practical, though challenges remain—chiefly, the high costs of staffing and equipping small airfields.
