Global aviation sector expected to achieve 100% efficiency only by 2023: Expert

For the last five months, the highly-infectious Sars-Cov-2 virus has spread it’s tentacles across the world, killing hundreds of thousands and putting global health care systems under severe strain. Billions of people are under lockdown. Naturally, with all travel plans kept in abeyance, the airline and logistics industry has been one of the prime affected sectors with airlines bleeding with each passing day and a few like Virgin Australia even declaring bankruptcy.

To make sense of the sector’s mounting losses, indianexpress.com spoke to VK Mathews, a renowned expert in the civil aviation sector, who headed the IT division at Dubai-based Emirates for over a decade-and-a-half. He is the founder-executive chairman of IBS Software, an IT solutions company for the air transportation industry.
