Making Melissa’s travel safe & hassle-free...
Melissa is a senior advertising professional based out of New York. She travels to other international locations frequently, such as London, to meet her clients. In the pre-pandemic world, when Melissa had to embark on an impromptu business travel, she just had to book the next available flight, pack up, show up at the airport on time, check-in, and fly.
The pandemic, however, has made travel more complex for Melissa, and for millions of flyers like her. What’s more, it might stay that way forever!
Today, flyers like Melissa have bigger checklists to follow. Apart from booking the flight ticket, they must be aware of the travel restrictions, quarantine restrictions, keep their vaccine digital certificates handy, book COVID-19 test if necessary, find the nearest lab, et al. All this information is needed before travel.
COVID-19 and the airline industry: Impact and the way forward
We are aware of the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the airline industry. COVID-19 has tremendously changed the way airlines, airports, government authorities, and health institutions need to collaborate together to make flying seamless and safe for passengers.
Hence, airlines across the globe are looking for effective solutions for safe reopening with stringent hygiene standards, strict safety measures, usage of digital health passports, mobile apps, and other tech solutions to transform the travel experience for passengers. This whitepaper is created with this core objective—to discuss the pandemic’s impact on the airline industry and how global airlines are adopting new solutions to offer seamless, safe travel experiences to flyers.
The demand and the eagerness to travel are skyrocketing among passengers. According to
Emirates airline President, Tim Clark, the new variants have slowed their momentum but still the overall recovery is still positive. Experts are saying that, travel especially personal travel, is
expected to “roar back” as people want to make up for lost time. Although business travel is the hardest hit sector in the airline industry when compared to domestic or commercial, 84% of business passengers confirmed that they are ready to fly now if stringent safety measures are followed. However, the rise in leisure trips and visits to meet family and loved ones will outpace the demand for business travel.
