Aviation experts predict that the consequences of the latest coronavirus epidemic will be more influential than any other known factor in history. That is why the recovery of the industry will not come earlier than 6 months after the beginning of the decline.
It is noted that outbreaks of acute viral respiratory infections in the world have a serious impact on air traffic.
A graphic published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) shows the impact of previous disease outbreaks on aviation.
In particular, the impact of the outbreak of acute respiratory syndrome SARS, or atypical pneumonia, in 2003, the outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in 2005, the outbreak of a new strain of avian influenza H7N9 in 2016, and the outbreaks of respiratory syndrome MERS in 2015.
In all previous cases, it took exactly 6 months to restore the industry.
