Aviation is among the worst-affected sectors amidst the Covid-19 crisis that has taken the scale of a pandemic. According to the International Air Transport Association, airlines globally can lose in passenger revenues of up to $113 billion due to this crisis. Airfares have also come under pressure due to nearly 30 per cent drop in bookings to virus-affected destinations. As a result, airfares to such destinations have fallen by 20-30 per cent. Domestic traffic growth is also gradually being affected with domestic travellers postponing or cancelling their travel plans. Some companies have reported more than 30 per cent drop in domestic travel this summer compared with last year. Airfare in the popular domestic routes have been reduced by 20-25 per cent and airfares are expected to remain subdued for the summer season as well. Cash reserves of airline companies are running low and many are almost at the brink of bankruptcy. Moreover, the crisis could lead to loss of jobs and pay cuts. Some airlines have asked many of their employees to go on leave without pay. Air Deccan has suspended operations and sent employees on unpaid leaves.
