Collapse of global air travel puts 46 m jobs at risk

4 October, 2020

London (CNN Business) - The collapse in aviation caused by the coronavirus pandemic could wipe out 46 million jobs worldwide, according to new research that highlights how damaging a prolonged downturn in air travel and tourism is for the global economy.

The Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), a Geneva-based coalition of aviation industry organisations, said in the report published on Wednesday that over half of the 88 million jobs supported by aviation could be lost at least temporarily as a result of the pandemic.
