On-demand webinar: Air travel recovery to resume in 2022 post-Omicron

In this on-demand webinar organized by IATA and Tourism Economics, we discuss the Air Passenger Forecast (APF) and the expected recovery in 2022, which includes a 20-year outlook as well as quarterly data points.

What does the latest IATA Passenger Forecast show?

 

Latest data for 2021 show that recovery on some major international routes was faster than expected towards the end of the year. However, the Omicron wave hit and disrupted activity resulting in the re-imposition of some travel restrictions. As infection rates are starting to fall and the importance of vaccines becomes ever clearer, we look towards continued recovery in 2022 and beyond. This includes key drivers of growth and expected recovery for major routes such as the likely transatlantic improvements. New quarterly details are shared to look at expected recovery during the year, as well as alternative scenarios and risks.
