As vaccines are being rolled out worldwide air travel will start to return in 2021. However, there remain significant risks in the outlook, including from the new variants of the virus, while vaccinations alone may not be sufficient to fully restore traveler confidence. In this webinar, David Goodger, Oxford Economics and Brian Pearce, IATA will explore the revised outlook and the near-term risks for air travel as the sector begins the journey back to more normal trends.
