There are many issues and challenges inherent in this development. It is for others in this symposium to examine them in detail, but a general proposition may be possible here. Air transport, having helped to change the world, must be prepared at all times to change with it. It is essentially a service industry and must, in order to prosper, relate itself closely to the overall necessities and demands of the communities it serves. Its greatest challenge, therefore, is to keep open-minded and aware of the other forces at work in the world; to maintain a high degree of flexibility in thought and operation; and at all costs to avoid the self-centered, institutional mentality which has afflicted other means of transport in the past.
