International airline body calls for countries to more rapidly lift travel restrictions
The representative body of the global airline industry, the International Air Transport Association (Iata), has called on governments to more rapidly ease the restrictions they imposed on travel, to try and counter the Covid-19 pandemic. This was because the disease was moving from pandemic to endemic status. “With experience of the Omicron variant, there is mounting scientific evidence and opinion opposing the targeting of travellers with restrictions and country bans to control the spread of Covid-19,” highlighted Iata director-general Willie Walsh. “The measures have not worked. Today Omicron is present in all parts of the world. That’s why travel, with very few exceptions, does not increase the risk to general populations. The billions spent testing travellers would be far more effective if allocated to vaccine distribution or strengthening health care systems.”

Passenger traffic last year was 58.4% below that recorded in 2019, but the figure for 2020 had been 65.8% down on that for 2019. There was a great disparity in domestic and international air passenger traffic last year. International traffic was 75.5% below that for 2019, but domestic traffic declined by the much smaller figure of 28.2%. In comparison to 2019, international passenger capacity dropped 65.3%, while domestic capacity fell by 19.2%. The load factor on international flights declined by 24 percentage points to 58%, but that on domestic flights was down by 9.3 percentage points to 74.3%.
