IATA estimates that global passenger traffic (revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) will not return to pre-COVID-19 levels until 2024, a year later than previously projected.
The continuing COVID-19 pandemic will make it a tough northern winter for the majority of airlines.
After plunging 94.3% in April 2020 compared with April 2019, demand for air travel is on the rise.
Air cargo has been critical in the global fight against COVID-19, transporting vital equipment and medicines to those that have needed them most, writes Andrea Gruber.
Air cargo accounts for approximately $111 billion in airline revenues, and the industry handles some $6 trillion worth of goods or roughly 35% of world trade. Though these are impressive figures, ‘could do better’ seems to be forever stamped across air cargo reports. Some of the software solutions being largely legacy-based might have limitations in adding modern functionalities.
