Connecting the world

Aviation connects people, cultures and
businesses like no other means of transport.

Air Transport provides
Social Benefits

Reliable air transport raises living standards by providing access to food, healthcare, education, and safe communities. As the safest and most efficient long-distance transportation, it often supplies remote areas and is essential for humanitarian aid. In isolated regions, it creates vital connections. Aviation expands educational opportunities, especially for students from developing countries, and enriches quality of life through cultural experiences and visits to distant relatives.

The Aviation Industry in 2023

Enabling prosperity

Air transport plays a central role in the global economy and contributed significantly to global GDP in 2023, accounting for 4.1 trillion US dollars, or 3.9% of global economic output. It enabled 33% of global trade by value, created 86.5 million jobs and promoted tourism and cultural exchange, making it an indispensable part of our interconnected world.

Aircraft noise reduction

Towards quieter aviation

Aircraft noise is being a major cause of negative public reactions to airport operations and expansions. FACC is being committed to reducing this noise through continuous development of components. By researching new structures, materials, and processes, FACC is improving component properties. One effective method is applying special surfaces, like perforated ones, to engine components and fan cowls to dampen noise. Additionally, installing winglets is significantly reducing noise pollution at airports.
