Forecasts show that the expected growth will be due to an increase in investments in blockchain technology into commercial aviation.
Airline companies are showing their readiness to adopt blockchain-based practices as well. In this regard, Lufthansa is among those who have invested in the technology and trying to incorporate it into their business models, including retail, baggage and cargo tracking, distribution, and increasing transparency for flight maintenance.
