MIAMI – As the lowest season for commercial aviation passenger traffic approaches, airlines are cutting passengers seats for the coming weeks, according to multiple MCOs measures and restrictions applied across the world, in order to curb the COVID-19 RT index.
Roughly 7% of seats are going to be lost on the second week of January, which translated into numbers amounts to seven million seats lost and the figure will get worse in the following weeks.
The actual capacity of the airlines around the world stand at 47% seats offered compared to the same period of 2020 when there were still no major travel disruptions caused by the pandemic.
