Estimating and projecting air passenger traffic during the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak and its socio-economic impact
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This study forecasts a decline in global air passenger traffic and related revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting travel bans. The authors estimate potential losses to global GDP ranging from 0.34% to 1.67% and job losses up to 30 million for 2020 under various scenarios. The analysis also shows regional differences in impact, with European air travel and economy being hit harder compared to other regions.

Limitaciones identificadas
Explicación de la calificación
This paper provides a timely analysis of a critical issue but suffers from several methodological weaknesses and limitations. The reliance on simplistic scenarios, data limitations, and oversimplified economic modeling prevents a more robust assessment of the pandemic's impact. While the real-time flight data analysis is interesting, the lack of distinction between passenger and cargo traffic limits its value.
