As a majority of baby boomers reach the age of 60 , and enter retirement, the thirst for travel is growing and the flight industry needs to adapt. As this ABC news article describes, the elderly have much more money to spend on travel for travel's sake and therefore companies such as Boeing need to adapt and make their flights more "age friendly".

In my opinion, it's not simply about interior design which is what most of that article is about but more about rethinking the services around traveling and the flight experience, especially with the recent trend of trying to squeeze in as many people as possible and reducing leg space on certain national flights.
