Tougher for airlines as Covid-19 spreads


THIS period is the aviation industry’s darkest hour with no clear signs when airlines will be able to restart the hundreds of airplanes grounded at airports and other global sites.

February passenger traffic declined 14.1% and is said to be the steepest drop since the 9-11 terrorist attacks. The plunge is bigger in the Asia-Pacific region, with traffic plummeting 30.4% compared to a year ago, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
