Although aviation industry has a small share in Total GDP in a direct manner. But it is linked to the activities which put great impact on Global GDP like airports, aircraft manufacturing and industries related to them. Aviation industry is key player of many other economic activities. The massive drop in passengers traveling due to various reasons like many countries were not allowing visitors to come in their countries due to worst pandemic situation. Due to this situation many staff get unemployed whether we look at high level or the low-level ones. Government tries to sustain their national carrier firms by injecting additional funds and giving subsidiaries.
Comparison with Pharmaceutical industry
Where all the other companies and institution have suffered loses, all the companies have gone into defect. But the pharmaceutical companies have benefited from this global epidemic. Because it has increased the purchase of medicine and other such items. Because when this global epidemic came the whole world had a shortage of medicine. But when the epidemic begins to spread rapidly and people begin to be affected, the pharmaceutical company accelerated its pace in making the medicine. At that time there was a shortage of ventilator, so many countries started making ventilators and sent them to other countries and in return they earned a lot of money. They also provided masks and similar medicines to other countries.And the countries had the power to make these things stepped up their work . similarly if you look at China it was the first to overcome the epidemic because it had all the facilities. And they started giving masks and ventilator to other country as well. This increased their income. In this way China provided medicines, masks and ventilator to Pakistan and other countries, and this boosted their economy. And China is also playing a key role in developing the coronavirus vaccine.
Lighter Sight on the Pandemic
When the global coronavirus begins to spread it also affected aviation and lowered income. When the flights stopped it also increased an unemployment. and it also increased the anxiety of the people because they could not reach their place of work. And when the number of passengers decreased it increased the fares. COVID-19 is a global epidemic that is transmitted from one person to another and it can be said that it can go from one country to another.
If the number of flights is reduced it will eventually reduce air pollution. If the elevation was photographed during the lock down it was showing complete cleanliness. Due to the reduction in flights the financial system is increasing day by day. It’s getting better because it doesn’t burn fuel in the air. And it is reducing environmental pollution a little bit. People who live near airports or affected by the noise of airplanes. When flights were closed the need for fuel was reduced.
Conclusion
In the end I would like to suggest few points which should be taken into consideration:
- Wash hands regularly
- Maintain distance at least 1 meter
- Avoid touching surface out side home
- Use masks and other protective face shields
- Rest more if feeling any covid 19 symptoms
- Boost Immune system
- Do regular exercised
- Avoid every sort of gathering
If we talk specifically about aviation industry that what steps can be taken into consideration:
- COVID-19 test should be done 24 hrs. before traveling
- Social distancing in flights
- Mask and other face shields must be compulsory
- Box Food with disposable cutlery
- Government should give subsidiaries to airlines
- Direct flights with no transit stop
- Low counter interaction like E booking, E visa, E boarding
- Only one person should be allowed to come on airport to receive or see off the passenger
- Air crew should be in PPE suits
- Ground Staff / Airport staff should be in PPE suits
- Domestic tourism should be open on low level so that airlines can sustain
- Cheap ticket rates
- Cheap visas
- Easy loans
- Leniency on loans policies
As Vaccine is here so we are hoping that soon this virus will come in control and we can come back to normal life. We accept that current situation is not good and this virus is quite deadly and have major negative impact on every sector like aviation, health, education, pharmaceuticals etc. But it is also not possible and sensible that we will shut everything down like in first wave. If suggestions which are provided are followed properly so we will be able to survive this pandemic situation and world economy will be able to overcome the negative phase which we are going through. It’s a hard time for every one because unemployment rate is on highest level and depression is increasing everyday but everyone hopes that soon everything will be great soon.
