The airline 188bet app’s main lobbying group has increased this year’s loss estimates by about a quarter，Said new outbreaks and virus variants have delayed the timetable for the reopening of global air travel。

IATA said in an online presentation on Wednesday，188bet app will lose approximately US billion in 2021。The organization’s earlier forecast was US billion。

“This crisis is going to last longer than anyone expected，Deeper，” Former head of British Airways parent company International Airlines Group、Willie Walsh, now the Director General of IATA, said。“Losses 188bet app lower than in 2020，But the pain caused by the crisis is getting worse。”

New travel bans and restrictions caused by the worsening epidemic in important aviation markets such as India and Brazil，Causing the aviation 188bet app’s prospects to become even bleaker。Countries with the fastest vaccinations become more cautious about restarting air travel，Worried that virus variants that can break through vaccine protection will enter the country。

The U.S. State Department said this week，About 80% of the world’s countries will be included in the “avoid 188bet app” 188bet app advisory。In Europe，UK has postponed confirmation of reopening to 188bet app in mid-May，Indicates a decision will be made closer to that date。While some countries are opening up air 188bet app to vaccinated travelers，But progress on so-called vaccine passports is slow and complicated。

Destroyed hope

After the aviation 188bet app lost approximately US6 billion in 2020 due to the epidemic crisis，There had been high hopes that air travel would rebound in the first half of the year。IATA now says，The crucial summer travel rush is also at risk。

Air 188bet app demand in 2021 will reach 43% of 2019 levels，This is more optimistic than the forecast released in February，But not as good as predicted last December when the vaccine was first launched。At that time，IATA expects air passenger traffic to return to about half of pre-pandemic levels。

The airline 188bet app’s break-even time was previously expected to be in the fourth quarter，Now postponed to 2022。

Although optimism about the second half of the year depends mainly on the continued rebound in large domestic markets such as the United States and China，But Walsh said，His optimism about the European market is slightly higher than IATA’s official forecast。
