IATA: Sərnişin tələbatının bərpası 2021-ci ildə davam etdi, lakin Omicron təsir etdi

The Beynəlxalq Hava Nəqliyyatı Assosiasiyası (IATA) announced full-year global passenger traffic results for 2021 showing that demand (revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) fell by 58.4% compared to the full year of 2019. This represented an improvement compared to 2020, when full year RPKs were down 65.8% versus 2019. 

• 2021-ci ildə beynəlxalq sərnişin tələbi 75.5-cu il səviyyəsindən 2019% aşağı olmuşdur. Tutum, (mövcud oturacaq kilometri və ya ASK ilə ölçülür)% 65.3 azaldı və yük faktoru 24.0 faiz azalaraq% 58.0 oldu.

• 2021-ci ildə daxili tələb 28.2-cu illə müqayisədə 2019% azalıb. Tutum 19.2% azaldı və yük faktoru 9.3 faiz azalaraq 74.3% -ə düşdü.

• Total traffic for the month of December 2021 was 45.1% below the same month in 2019, improved from the 47.0% contraction in November, as monthly demand continued to recover despite concerns over Omicron. Capacity was down 37.6% and load factor fell 9.8 percentage points to 72.3%.

Impact of Omicron Measures: Mikron travel restrictions slowed the recovery in international demand by about two weeks in December. International demand has been recovering at a pace of about four percentage points/month compared to 2019. Without Mikron, we would have expected international demand for the month of December to improve to around 56.5% below 2019 levels. Instead, volumes rose marginally to 58.4% below 2019 from -60.5% in November. 

“Overall travel demand strengthened in 2021. That trend continued into December despite travel restrictions in the face of Omicron. That says a lot about the strength of passenger confidence and the desire to travel. The challenge for 2022 is to reinforce that confidence by normalizing travel. While international travel remains far from normal in many parts of the world, there is momentum in the right direction. Last week, France and Switzerland announced significant easing of measures. And yesterday the UK removed all testing requirements for vaccinated travelers. We hope others will follow their important lead, particularly in Asia where several key markets remain in virtual isolation,” said Willie Walsh, IATA'nin baş direktoru.
