摘要

One of the nastier features of Covid-19 is a lingering and debilitating illness - a description also perhaps of the pandemic's impact on the international airline industry. Figures from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) revealed the extent of the damage: demand in early Spring was down 88.7% on 2019 levels, total losses were over $118bn and, more ominously for airline revenues, average load factors were 40% below normal. June numbers were slightly better, at 60% of 2019 levels. IATA is predicting total losses for the year of $48bn, 25% higher than earlier estimates. The US is coming out of the crisis better than expected, with predicted losses of only $5bn. On the other hand, Western European airlines could lose $22bn, double earlier predictions. More positively, IATA recorded a rise in freight traffic, in some cases up by 3% on pre-crisis levels (11% in North America). This reflected a wider economic revival, as well as the shift in consumer patterns to e-commerce emphasising smaller, more frequent shipments. FedEx and UPS have seen quarterly revenues up by 20%. Air cargo is now responsible for 30% of airline revenue, compared to 12% in 2019. The sector and some governments are exploring measures designed to restore confidence in air travel through rapid testing, vaccination passports, 'air corridors' and 'green light' destinations. However, there are still numerous, often draconian, restrictions in place. The emergence of new variants added to the woes facing airlines, airports and associated services. The rollout of vaccination programmes - better in some countries than others - has begun to help but the Delta variant, originating in India, has led to a setback in expectations of a general return to normality.
