VTV.vn - International air passenger traffic could drop by as many as 1.2 billion travelers, or two-thirds, by September 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic weighs on demand, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

It also estimates that airline revenues could fall by $160-253 billion for the first nine months of this year with international capacity down by up to two-thirds. According to ICAO, the air passenger traffic would drop the most in Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region during the summer peak season. The coronavirus has led to widespread flight cancellations and the grounding of aircraft.
