Our Industries
The economic uncertainty, over 40 external uncontrollable variables and the unique dynamics of the current COVID-19 crisis make it very challenging for airlines and airports across the globe to forecast demand and kickstart air travel in the near future.
Despite the current unfavourable macroeconomic conditions with the portion of uncertainty on the top of that, the demand for travelling by plane will ultimately return to the long-term growth trajectory. Thus there is an urgent and existential call for action across the whole value chain of the aviation sector, which must be founded on the basis of strategic creativity, humanity, prioritising human health factors, sustainability, profitability, pragmatism and optimism.
