Literature on long-term passenger demand changes in the face of COVID-19.
| Study | Major finding |
|---|---|
| Abate et al. (2020) | A decrease in passenger demand for tourism and for business travel is expected until at least the end of 2021. |
| Gallego and Font (2020) | The changes in air passenger demand due to the COVID-19 were investigated, a flat-line L shape rather than a U shape recovery was suggested. |
| Gudmundsson et al. (2020) | The recovery periods for passengers and freight were estimated. It was shown that the recovery would take on average 2.4 and 2.2 years for passenger and freight demand. |
| Lamb et al. (2020) | Based on a survey with 632 participants, passengers' willingness to fly during and after the COVID-19 was studied. Four predictors were identified: perceived threat of COVID-19, agreeableness, affect (emotional predictors), and fear. |
| Oxford Analytica (2020) | The airline industry will not see traffic return to 2019 levels until 2024 or later. |
