国际航空运输协会（IATAsaid）周二宣布，由于冠状病毒大流行，2020年航空客运收入将猛增55%，即3140亿美元。国际航空运输协会亚历山大杜尼亚克（IATA CE Alexandre de Juniac）表示，就在三周前，预计海运业的降幅将达到44%，即2520亿美元，“海运业的前景一天比一天黯淡。”这场危机的规模使得大幅V型复苏不太可能。事实上，随着国内旅游业在国际市场上的回流，这将是一个U型复苏。国际航空运输协会（IATA）表示，如果没有紧急救助，许多航空公司将无法生存下来，引领经济复苏。“截至4月初，与2019年同期相比，全球航班数量下降了80%。”。在最新的评估中，该协会考虑到了对国际旅行的超期限制，以及病毒在非洲和南美的传播。

Airline passenger revenues are settoplunge by 55%, or$314b, in 2020 duetothe coronavirus pandemic, the IATAsaid Tuesday. Itmarksasharpworseningoftheforecast fortheaviation industry, asjust threeweeksago the decrease was predicted tobe 44%, or $252b. "The industry's outlook grows darker bythe day," said IATA CE Alexandre de Juniac. "The scale of the crisis makes a sharp V-shaped recovery unlikely. Realistically, it will bea U-shaped recovery with domestic travel coming backfaster thantheinternational market. Without urgent relief, many airlines will not survive to lead the economic recovery." As of early April, the number of flights worldwide was down by 80% compared tothe same period in 2019, said IATA, which brings together 290 airlines. In its latest assessment, the association factored in longer-than-expected restrictions on international travel, and the virus spreading in Africa and South America.
