One of the most fascinating things about the commercial aviation industry is the level of interaction that supply and demand for air travel have with global macroeconomic conditions.

Other supply-side factors that have a major impact on airline operations include labor market conditions and raw material availabilities, as many rare-Earth minerals are crucial components of modern aircraft construction, especially when it comes to their advanced electronics.
