FORECASTING 2021: Alexandre de Juniac - #TheAgenda with Stephen Cole
The Agenda • 2m 4s
There were few industries hit harder in 2020 than aviation. Passenger demand fell by more than half, hundreds of billions of dollars of revenue were lost, and tens of thousands of jobs disappeared across the industry. But is there some light on the horizon for 2021?
Alexandre de Juniac is Director General and CEO of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). He’s been telling The Agenda’s Stephen Cole that he wants Governments to take a different approach:
“The good news, as everyone knows, is the arrival of the vaccine [which] should be available - on a large scale - not before 2021.We would normally see borders being significantly re-opened all over the world…What we are advocating for is that states do not wait for that date, but reopen their borders to allow the air traffic to restart.
“We are proposing not only a simple removal of the travel restrictions but the replacement of systematic testing.”
