Passengers could soon be flying off to holiday destinations or islands on a pilotless plane.So far, online travel agency Kiwi.com has partnered with Czech airplane technology company Zuri to develop a concept plane that could fly completely unmanned.
The plane would come in response to concerns that the industry would experience a serious problem in the near future that would threaten the growth of world air travel.The International Air Transport Association estimates there will be about 650，000 short of new pilots in the world over the next 20 years, and that the airline traffic will nearly double during that same period.
The plane, which is expected to carry up to four passengers, would have a wing span of roughly 11 meters and would weigh only 900 kilograms.It would use vertical take­off and landing technology, which means the plane can land vertically, meaning it can be landed in more places.
Developers hope the prototype (原型) will be able to fly up to 698 kilometers, which is the distance between London and Germany.The plane would be ideal for travelling between islands as travellers wouldn't need to worry about changing from commercial flights to boats, taxis or car rides.

Oliver Dlouhy, CEO and Co­Founder of Kiwi.com said, “The Zuri project represents a direction that I see as key to the future transportation.Combined with the global transportation network, it will bring completely new chances for travelling by adding thousands of smaller islands into the airports' catchment areas.”
But pilotless or single pilot operation of airplanes won't be easy in an industry where at least two pilots in the cockpit (驾驶舱)are required.Many airlines around the world made t
his a rule after a pilot flew a plane into the French Alps in March 2015, killing all 150 people on board.What's more, it's also unclear whether passengers or their insurers or carriers would accept or permit it.
