@StatiSense Perhaps these rankings tell us as much about the evolution of regional economies as they do about aviation itself, as alluded by @AviaPro_ in the post below. Airports don't create demand—they reveal where demand is becoming durable.

The Asiana crash in San Francisco was 13 years ago

July 6 2013: Asiana Airlines Flight 214, a B-777, crashes in San Francisco (US), 3 of 307 aboard die. On landing, Jet approached too low and slow: its tail struck a seawall and was ripped off, and the aircraft cartwheeled on the runway. Investigation pointed pilot actions, with factors such as training, breach of SOP, inadequate supervision of trainee pilots, and fatigue, among others.

With the global fleet age now above 15 years, airlines are operating older aircraft longer than planned — increasing maintenance pressure and operational risk.

Imagine landing and seeing the burned-up wreckage of another plane on the runway next to you.

That's exactly what passengers aboard American Airlines Flight 431 experienced while landing at San Francisco International Airport on July 8, 2013, just two days after the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214, Boeing 777-200ER (HL7742).

From their windows, they could clearly see the destroyed Boeing 777 on Runway 28L, its landing gear separated, investigators examining the wreckage, and emergency crews working around the scene—a haunting reminder of the tragedy that had unfolded only 48 hours earlier.

On July 6, 2013, the Asiana 777 crashed while attempting to land after descending too low and too slow. The aircraft's tail struck the seawall and was destroyed by impact forces and a post-crash fire.
The National Transportation Safety Board later concluded that the probable cause was the flight crew's mismanagement of the visual approach, including inadequate airspeed monitoring, delayed execution of a go-around, and over-reliance on automation. The investigation also cited shortcomings in training, supervision, fatigue, and Boeing's documentation regarding autothrottle behavior.

The accident claimed three lives and injured nearly 200 people, marking the first fatal accident involving a Boeing 777.

@BaroqueAviation @gulfstreamaero While many industries have mastered hyper-personalization—think of how Netflix knows your Friday night mood or Amazon anticipates your next purchase—the airline industry remains stuck in a "one-size-fits-most" model, as alluded in the below by @AviaPro_.
