World aviation is expected to recover faster than expected

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) recently said that the aviation industry can recover much faster than expected. The fact that many countries have lifted travel restrictions related to COVID-19 has contributed to a sudden spike in aviation demand, evident in the “revenge travel” trend of people after the pandemic.

“What we can clearly see right now is that the demand is very strong. Even if fares go up and there are some flight disruptions, this does not stop people from wanting to travel.” Mr. Willie Walsh, General Director of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), assessed.

The situation is forecasted to be even more positive during the summer – the peak tourist season in many European countries. Some low-cost airlines even said that they expected to operate the number of flights at pre-pandemic levels from this point on.
