| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a devastating impact on the global aviation industry, as nearly all air travel were adversely affected by measures such as border closures, entry restrictions, quarantine requirements and domestic travel restrictions. Globally, the total number of flights is estimated to decline by about 58% in 2020 compared to 2019 with volume of air passengers declined more than 60%. It is estimated that more than half of the aviation related jobs across economies are at risk in 2020, which put at risks the livelihoods of 46 million people. Southeast Asia countries were no exception as several countries implemented bans on international and domestic air travel to contain the spread of the COVID-19. International aviation activity in the region was estimated to have decreased by 70% in 2020 compared to 2019, while domestic aviation fared a bit better with reduction in aviation activity of 33% compared to 2019. To address the challenges associated with the pandemic while also ensuring recovery of the aviation industry and economy, DMCs will need to introduce a balance response between interventions that safeguard the public health and stimulate the air traffic recovery. This TA aims to: (i) gather information on the current Southeast Asia aviation landscape and (ii) identify and prepare for immediate/short-term priority plans. This will provide the first step in strengthening the planning for aviation recovery. |
