The trade organization has actually claimed guest numbers for international travel is not anticipated to reach ‘pre-pandemic’ degrees until 2023 ‘at the earliest’.

The association claimed long-haul travel will be the most seriously impacted.

The organization has claimed that domestic travel will certainly recoup a lot more rapidly, but estimates that following year’s global traveling demand will certainly be 24 percent below 2019 degrees.

The association said long-haul travel will be the most severely impacted.

A recent survey by Lonely Planet found that 69 percent of travellers would rather stay home than have to go through a 14-day quarantine once they arrive at their holiday destination.

The IATA is urging governments to reconsider lengthy quarantines in the future.

IATA director-general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac told Lonely Planet: “To protect aviation’s ability to be a catalyst for the economic recovery, we must not make that prognosis worse by making travel impracticable with quarantine measures.

“We need a solution for safe travel that addresses those challenges.

“It must give passengers the confidence to travel safely and without undue hassle, and it must give governments confidence that they are protected from importing the virus.”

The association has said that domestic travel will recover more quickly, but estimates that next year’s international travel demand will be 24 percent below 2019 levels.

IATA has put out a set of principles to restart the industry, including ensuring that safety and security comes first, ‘responding flexibly as the crisis and science evolve’ and vowing to meet its environmental targets.

Juniac added: “Re-starting air transport is important. Even as the pandemic continues, the foundations for an industry re-start are being laid through close collaboration of the air transport industry with ICAO, the WHO, individual governments and other parties.

“Much work, however, remains to be done. By committing to these principles, the leaders of the world’s airlines will guide the safe, responsible and sustainable re-start of our vital economic sector. Flying is our business. And it is everyone’s shared freedom.”
