Air Battles
As long as they don’t lose interest in gliding by the time new expacs roll around, in the same way underwater was so dramatically dismissed, then potential exists in pve at least. The early seeds are already sown with the LS3 content.
I doubt it could ever be converted into a new wvw/pvp map just for balance reasons. Perhaps an activity instead.
If they do air battle with gliders, they will have done air battle better that Riders of Icarus (who actually marketed there game with that) XD
Fighting in air (while gliding) totally needs to happen. What say you guys.

flying =/= standing in the air and move freely
No fantasy game allows you to fly, not WoW, Aion or Riders of Icarus. What you can do there is far from flying.
Fighting while gliding is actual really close to real flying, like a bird or a plain would do. With a nice mechanic for combat against other flying targets, Guild Wars could create a unique “World of Warplane” feeling, as in “you” do the flying not the machine.
Though it would be really difficult since gliding even with upstreams and ley lines provides far less freedom of movement as a small motorized plane would.
So playing as “bomber” as we already can do, is probably the closest to aerial combat we get.

Skill 1 in the air Focused Magic is not a ground targeting skill… They technically just need to add flying targets in maps with up-drafts to get aerial combat…

If you don’t think you can fly in Aion, then you’ve never played Aion……….
