Global passenger demand in September was 53% lower than in the same month of the last year before the pandemic (2019), although the decrease was less than in August, thanks to the recovery in national markets such as China, reported the International Air Transport Association (THERE IT IS).
In August, the demand had been 56% lower compared to the same month in 2019.
In national markets, the impact of the pandemic is less: in September the demand was 24.3% lower than in the same month of 2019, while in August the decrease had been 32.6%.
Demand in Russia, for example, was even considerably higher than in September 2019 (29.3% more), although in the other large markets it is still below pre-COVID-19 levels.
By regions, demand was 69% lower in Asia-Pacific compared to the same month of 2019, while in Europe the decrease was 50.3%, in North America it was 30% and in Latin America it was 39%.
