Aviation Industry might Not Fully Recover before 2024

Today the sky that used to be full of aircraft is empty, where on one side that is a positive sign of healing the environment, on the other side, it has a serious implication on the global aviation business. If India is to be talked about, it was only two years back that a full-fledged working airline Jet-airways went bankrupt and was shut in a short time, leaving the employees in disarray.

In June, the number of air passengers was down 86.5 percent year-on-year. Earlier in May, there was a drop of 91 percent in passenger numbers compared to the figure a year earlier. IATA said the possibility of increasing passenger numbers seems to be much less as the coronavirus epidemic spreads in the US and developing countries. These markets contribute 40 percent of the world’s air travelers but would not be contributing as much because of the current world crisis.
