NEW DELHI : More than 50% people surveyed by aviation industry body, The International Air Transport Association (IATA) during June said that they will wait for another five to six months before flying, due to the ongoing pandemic which has claimed thousands of lives worldwide, Amitabh Khosla, IATA’s country director for India, said on Thursday.
Speaking at a webinar hosted by aerospace major Boeing Corp on restoring confidence in air travel, Khosla said that 90% of the respondents surveyed by the industry body, however, will fly again in the next one year.
“The challenge is to restore confidence in air travel and confidence to plan travel. This will take time to re-build,” Khosla added.
