Tracking the massive impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the world’s airline industry in early 2020

The novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19 was first detected in Wuhan, China in late 2019, and took only a few months to spread into a global pandemic. Health experts say modern advanced transport including air travel has greatly increased the pace of the pandemic. Though governments around the world imposed lockdowns, isolations and quarantines for travellers, such measures also had a devastating impact on the global economy and many industries including aviation. Airline tracking site Flight Radar 24 documented a massive reduction in the number of aircraft flying around the world, and the International Air Transport Association predicts that air traffic in 2020 may fall by at least 38 per cent. What do the numbers tell us about the future for global aviation?

I just heard that a 29-day-old baby has died in the Philippines, possibly being the youngest to have died of the disease! Please everyone take care of yourself and those around you! Humans should learn from the fatal mistakes we've made regarding exploitative animal consumption and our carelessness of nature. Covid-19 may just be a warning for humans. The worst is yet to come.

Don't forget that the traffic coming out of the prc in january is a major timeline of the spread of the virus.

We are experiencing the biggest ecological recovery in the last 200 years. Economic activity has an inverse correlation to ecological activity. The news channels didn't broadcast the daily number of trees killed.

[joan]

Don't worry. We didn't miss it

[JovenAlbarida]

this kind of airline data can help how find the contaigon of this pandemic

Looks like only the Mother Nature would be pleased to have this

We need reusable fuel ⛽️ for air as well as vehicles more public transportation instead of traffic jams and let people work from home if they can do it even when this virus is over. I do miss seeing ✈️ including military ✈️ flying over where I’am from even at night. Be with the pilots and crews at this time until we can see them flying overhead again.

I'm more scared about the economy impact of the virus rather than to health.

Most business will bankrupt and people will go unemployed.
