Abstract

Air transportation is an essential input for downstream sectors, as it permits various economic exercises through buying and selling goods mostly in services by way of the movement of natural individuals. The preparation of aviation expanded a major number of destinations is also helpful for tourism, especially global tourism. Air transport is distinguished by both complementarity and substitutability with other systems of transport. The differences in the way of behaving passengers following the COVID-19 crisis, travel imitations forced by the government and the following economic crisis have caused significant fall in demand for airline services. Controlling costs are probably to rise for both airlines and airports with reason of extra health and safety necessities (e.g. disinfection, PPE, temperature checks or viral tests) before they can be passed on to customers. Besides, the application of social distancing measures has forced a restriction in the passenger by up to 50% of the capacity. Direct aviation jobs (at airlines, airports, manufacturers, and air traffic management) drop down by 4.8 million, and aviation-supported jobs potentially fall off by 46 million to 41.7 million (-52.5%) (a 43% reduction compared with the preCOVID situation) these are the impact of covid -19 in the aviation industry as a whole.
