Middle East, Europe airports suffer biggest losses due to COVID-19 | ZAWYA MENA Edition
Airports in the Middle East and Europe have suffered the worst losses due to the coronavirus pandemic this year, with total passenger numbers for the whole 2020 expected to register the biggest decline of nearly three quarters, according to an analysis.
“Europe and the Middle East are forecast to be the two most impacted regions with declines above 70 percent compared to the projected baseline,” Airports Council International (ACI) said in a report released this month.
Airports, airlines and other players in the air transport sector, have been among the hardest hit by the falloff in travel demand due to the health outbreak.
Despite the easing of restrictions and resumption of flights, air transport continues to suffer, although some airlines in the region have reported an uptick in demand for December. Across the world, passenger traffic in the first half of 2021 will remain heavily impacted as vaccination campaigns are rolled out and organised, ACI said.
