ڇاڪاڻ ته 2021 ۽ 2020 جي وچ ۾ مھينا نتيجا COVID-19 جي غير معمولي اثر کان مسخ ٿيل آھن، جيستائين ٻي صورت ۾ نوٽ ڪيو وڃي ته سڀئي موازن جولاءِ 2019 سان آھن، جيڪي ھڪڙي عام طلب جي نموني جي پيروي ڪندا آھن.
- Total demand for air travel in August 2021 (measured in revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) was down 56.0% compared to August 2019. This marked a slowdown from July, when demand was 53.0% below July 2019 levels.
- This was entirely driven by domestic markets, which were down 32.2% compared to August 2019, a major deterioration from July 2021, when traffic was down 16.1% versus two years ago. The worst impact was in China, while India and Russia were the only large markets to show a month-to-month improvement compared to July 2021.
- International passenger demand in August was 68.8% below August 2019, which was an improvement compared to the 73.1% decline recorded in July. All regions showed improvement, which was attributable to growing vaccination rates and less stringent international travel restrictions in some regions.
“August results reflect the impact of concerns over the Delta variant on domestic travel, even as international travel continued on a snail’s pace toward a full recovery that cannot happen until governments restore the freedom to travel. In that regard, the recent US announcement to lift travel restrictions from early November on fully vaccinated travelers is very good news and will bring certainty to a key market. But challenges remain, September bookings indicate a deterioration in international recovery. That’s bad news heading into the traditionally slower fourth quarter,” said ولي والش, IATAجي ڊائريڪٽر جنرل.
