Air traffic in Europe fell to 35.5% of 2019 levels in the week to Nov. 29, Eurocontrol figures showed, as COVID-19 travel restrictions and national lockdowns continued to affect demand for travel.
Air cargo volume is set to grow by just over 13% in 2021, about twice the pace at which world trade was expected to expand, the International Air Transport Association predicts.
