Slow recovery predicted for aviation industry after Covid-19 restrictions end, experts warn - Arabianbusiness:
Rather than spike in the aftermath of Covid-19 restrictions, passenger travel and tourism is likely to resume very slowly and in stages as various destinations lift restrictions at different times, according to experts.
Early on in the coronavirus pandemic, some experts predicted that passenger travel would see a quick resurgence as a result of high demand after weeks of restrictions. On March 22, for example, Matthew Sliedrecht, the marketing director at online travel portal Cleartrip, said that “we may see this Eid as one of the largest travel seasons in history”.
Now, however, experts are warning that the flow of passengers is likely to begin as a trickle as a result of varied national timelines for lifting restrictions and a general sense of uncertainty about travel that will continue for some time.
“The key to international travel taking off again is what happens in each country, and the answer to that will vary from country to country and from region to region while countries and airlines figure out how to safely move people,” said Ross Veitch, the co-founder and CEO of Dubai and Singapore-based online travel marketplace Wego.
