ICAO: Global air traffic could drop by up to 1.2 billion passengers

INTERNATIONAL  air passenger traffic could drop by as many as 1.2 billion travellers, or two-thirds, by September 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic weighs on demand, the United Nations aviation agency said yesterday in a statement, citing projections.

The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) estimates that international capacity could drop by as much as two-thirds from previous forecasts for the first three quarters of 2020.
