Commercial airlines are embracing AI innovations, as OAG highlights biometric expansions across 50 U.S. airports to handle 2026 FIFA World Cup crowds, streamlining security. Passenger numbers are projected to rise 5 percent globally, Satair reports, fueled by network expansions and JLL-noted capital investments in airports.

Advanced air mobility launches commercially, with Joby Aviation's eVTOL air taxis targeting urban routes, per Future Travel Experience.
