Pandemic dents global success in air connectivity

Air connectivity is vital for the proper functioning of a modern economy. It links markets and people through city-pair connections that serve as virtual bridges, supporting the flows of key economic activities across markets.

Air connectivity through direct and efficient connections between cities enables cross-border trade and supports tourism flows.
But Covid-19 has literally robbed the world of decades of progress in shrinking distances and bringing people together through connectivity. Prior to Covid-19, the growth in air connectivity was a global success story.
The pandemic-induced crisis has had a devastating impact on international connectivity, shaking up the rankings of the world’s most connected cities.
For example, London – the world’s number one most connected city in September 2019 – has seen a 67% decline in connectivity in the same period this year. By September 2020, it had fallen to the eighth position, globally.

Dubai: India’s decision to extend its ban on scheduled commercial flights will further delay UAE airlines’ chances to pick up demand on these routes.

Because right now, India is only operating flights under ‘air bubble’ agreements and which gives the country’s airlines an advantage. It is now an open secret that these arrangements are a form of indirect support given to the country’s beleaguered airlines.

The ‘India-first’ approach on certain routes ensures that India’s carriers do not face direct competition from operators in the UAE or other countries. “In the near-term, foreign operators will suffer due to restrictions on flights by the government and a preference for direct flights by fliers,” said Sanjiv Kapoor, senior advisor at Alton Aviation.

After going through a turbulent year, the travel and tourism sector in India seems to be bouncing back. According to Pradeep Singh Kharola, India’s Civil Aviation Secretary, domestic air travel in the country has reached 65 percent of what it used to be before the pandemic.

Addressing a webinar titled Aviation and Tourism, The Road Ahead, organised by the Federation of Association of Indian Tourism and Hospitality recently, Kharola said that people are preferring air travel more than ever, and that air travel is being considered as the safest mode to commute.

Kharola further said that the numbers will rise to 80 to 90 percent over the next few months with the lifting of restrictions and the reopening of businesses. He said that it may even reach normalcy if everything goes fine. He added that there was a dire need to reboot the tourism sector on similar lines as the
