Covid-19: Boeing expects local air travel to recover faster than international
NEW DELHI: Aircraft maker Boeing Corporation expects local air travel to recover faster than international, given the curbs on cross-border travel by governments to prevent the spread of covid-19 pandemic.
“We are seeing some recovery happening now. Domestic travel is picking up in some Asian countries,” said Jim Haas, director of product marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes on Tuesday in a media briefing.
“We are however several years away from recovering to pre-covid-19 level,” he said, adding that domestic and short-haul travel is expected to recover faster since restrictions are lesser compared to international air travel.
