Jean-Emmanuel Hay: Will we soon see fully automated aircraft? Jean-Louis Baroux: That’s a legitimate question. Thalès engineers claim that they know exactly how to fly aircraft in fully automatic mode, in complete safety. But from a sociological point of view, this is not yet accepted. No one is ready, for the moment, to board a pilotless aircraft. Jean-Emmanuel Hay: Air travel has never been so accessible, but one challenge remains: getting all these people through the airports. Jean-Louis Baroux: Going through the airport is often the most unpleasant part of air travel. The new scanners mean you no longer have to take anything out of your luggage, but they are often only installed in certain
areas of the terminals.What’s more, the current random checks slow down the flow of passengers unnecessarily. If such measures were applied in railway stations, trains would simply no longer be able to run. Jean-Emmanuel Hay: World Connect by APG is being held in Seville this year. What motivated the choice of this city? Jean-Louis Baroux: The Seville city council and authorities approached us and made significant efforts to welcome us. The welcome was excellent, and the financial contribution from various local stakeholders made our decision easier. World Connect attracts participants from all over the world, and Seville is a magnificent city, so the choice was a natural one.
