Region/ country
Impact on passenger numbers (in percentage)
Impact on passenger revenue (in billion U.S. dollars)
* Figures are based on one of two potential scenarios calculated by the source. The Extensive Spread Scenario is based on countries that have 10 or more confirmed COVID-19 cases.
Revenue figures do not add up to the global total because of route overlaps.
The estimation method assumes the market pattern for countries with more than ten confirmed cases as of March 2, 2020 to follow China's market disruptions pattern between January and March 2020. In addition to that, it integrates the impact pattern of 2003 SARS disease outbreak on aviation to calibrate transition effects more accurately.
