New travel restrictions could limit 2021
airline demand growth to just 13%
Leslie Josephs

More contagious strains of Covid-19 and new travel restrictions
could limit air travel demand this year to just a 13% increase from
2020, the International Air Transport Association said.

The trade group currently forecasts demand will rise by more than
50% this year from last, which would put passenger traffic at just
over half of 2019 levels, but warned of “severe downside risk” if
more travel restrictions are put in place.

The U.S. government is “actively looking” at whether to require
Covid-19 tests for domestic flights, something it mandated last
month for inbound international travel. Many countries, including
the U.S., are still limiting international travel or have strict quarantine
requirements in place.

“Last year was a catastrophe. There is no other way to describe it,”
said IATA’s director-general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac. “What
recovery there was over the Northern hemisphere summer season
stalled in autumn and the situation turned dramatically worse over
the year-end holiday season, as more severe travel restrictions
were imposed in the face of new outbreaks and new strains of
COVID-19.
