IATA: Air traffic drops 53% in March

World air traffic suffered a massive drop of more than half in March compared with the same period last year, the airline industry’s trade body says.

The 52.9 percent drop when measured by total revenue per passenger kilometers “was the largest decline in recent history, reflecting the impact of government actions to slow the spread of COVID-19,” says the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
