In this webinar organized by IATA and Oxford Economics discuss the Air Passenger Forecast (APF) and the expected recovery in 2023, which includes a 20-year outlook as well as quarterly data points.
Latest data for 2022 show that the global economy is projected to be weak due to high inflation, weaker corporate earnings, and the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Real consumer spending across G7 countries is considerably weaker post-Ukraine invasion, resulting in a slowdown in consumer spending.
Despite economic challenges, there has been a rebound in travel demand, particularly in the Middle East due to the FIFA World Cup, with some regions reaching pre-pandemic levels of travel activity. Positive indicators in the US economy, such as low unemployment rates and strong household balance sheets, are highlighted.
High-income households are prioritizing travel over other expenditures, and business travel is showing signs of recovery. Asia Pacific traffic in the aviation industry has recovered to 56% of 2019 levels as of January 2023, with China leading the recovery in the region. However, challenges such as rising fuel prices, labor costs, and uncertainties related to COVID-19 variants and travel restrictions remain, making the outlook for the Asia Pacific aviation industry uncertain.
The recovery of the global economy is still influenced by the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical events such as the war in Ukraine.
