Increasing Demand for Low-Cost Fuel to Promote Growth

A conventional flight bag is heavy and weighs around 40 pounds. This has led to a significant impact on the fuel economy of airlines. On the other hand, EFBs weigh around 5 pounds and provide a considerable weight reduction benefit for an aircraft. Further, weight reduction has led to improved operational and fuel efficiency. The increasing demand for low-cost fuel, therefore, is leading to EFBs replacing conventional flight bags worldwide. Additionally, the increasing focus on passenger safety has propelled the demand for advanced next-generation aircraft with real-time access to critical information such as weather information and other statistics. This is anticipated to contribute to the global electronic flight bag market growth in the forthcoming years.
