The volume of air traffic has risen steeply in recent years and the number of long distance flights has greatly increased. With modern long range aircraft the need for “stop-overs” has been reduced so the duration of flights has also increased. The passenger capacity of long distance aircraft is also increasing, so larger numbers of people travel aboard a single aircraft. “Frequent flyers” now form a substantial proportion of the travelling public. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, the annual number of flight passengers exceeded 1647 million in 2000 and although the numbers dropped the following years because of security concerns and the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), numbers are again rising and are forecasted to grow by 4.4 per cent annually until 2015.
