However, aviation expert Gross Bongart believes such forecasts are too optimistic. He believes that forecasts are difficult to achieve given that there are still plenty of issues, not least due to rising costs and rising ticket prices. After two consecutive years of losses due to the pandemic, the airline industry has some reason for optimism. It is fully expected to turn a profit by 2023, Willie Walsh, secretary general of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), said at the Doha conference on Monday. For this year, however, the airline industry is still forecasting a loss of $9.7 billion.
Not a small number, of course, but much less than the two pandemic years of 2020 and 2021: losses in those two years totaled $138 billion and $42 billion, respectively. © 2022 Deutsche Welle Copyright Notice: All contents of this article are protected by photo restoration service copyright law and may not be used without special authorization from Deutsche Welle.
