现在人们越来越认识到，航空是个人和全球流动的重要驱动力。然而，流动性的增长并不是均匀分布的：最近的研究表明，社会中相对较小的、高度移动的部分可能占总旅行距离的很大一部分。在审查的过程中，可能会导致个人aeromobility的增长之一，本文侧重于飞行常客计划（FFPs）作为一个制度化的框架，高流动性，详细介绍了这些计划如何奖励，从而增加对aeromobility的兴趣。调查结果与关于高流动性和社会地位之间相互关系的一些意见相联系，并通过对家庭福利计划成员及其对此类计划所提供福利的看法的调查得到证实。有人认为，FFPs奖励高流动性和discursively互连频繁飞行的社会地位，这是一个重要的因素，在发展的流动性模式的形状和创造的社会结构，“必要”的航空旅行。
It is now increasingly recognized that aviation is an important driver of individual and global mobility. Growth in mobility is not evenly distributed, however: recent studies indicate that a relatively small, highly mobile part of society may account for a large share of the total distances travelled. In reviewing one of the processes that may lead to growth in individual aeromobility, the paper focuses on frequent flyer programmes (FFPs) as an institutionalized framework for high mobility, detailing how these programmes reward and thus increase interest in aeromobility. Results are linked to a number of observations regarding the interrelationship of high mobility and social status, and substantiated by a survey of FFP members and their perspectives on benefits provided by such programmes. It is argued that FFPs reward high mobility and discursively interlink frequent flying with social status, which is an important element in the development of mobility patterns which shape and create the social structures that ‘necessitate’ air travel.
