Executive Summary: Economic Impact in Brief
3
Figures and estimates herein are subject to substantial changes, and will be updated with the situation evolving and more information available.
The latest estimates indicate that the possible COVID-19 impact on world scheduled passenger traffic for the full year 2020, compared to Baseline (business as usual, originally-planned), would be:
– Overall reduction ranging from 42% to 52% of seats offered by airlines – Overall reduction of 2,369 to 2,947 million passengers – Approx. USD 316 to 390 billion potential loss of gross operating
revenues of airlines The impacts depend on duration and magnitude of the outbreak and containment measures, the degree of consumer confidence for air travel, and economic conditions, etc.

Scenario Building
13
Previous two (2) scenarios and six (6) different paths were restructured with new two (2) scenarios and four (4) different paths for scheduled passenger traffic till December 2020.
Scope of analysis
14
• Analysis focuses on simultaneous supply shock and drop in demand – in a near-term, i.e. monthly profile from January to December 2020 – in terms of scheduled passenger traffic globally
• Taking into account the heterogeneity, distinction is made: – between international and domestic – by six (6) geographical region and/or 50 route groups used in ICAO’s long-term
traffic forecasts (LTF)
• Analysis is based on forward-looking scenarios, which will be continuously adjusted and updated
Analytical Consideration
15
• Geographical disparity of international-domestic passenger traffic mix
• Difference in market size among regions
• Potential difference in resilience and speed of recovery
• Outbreak timing that impacts when traffic would bottom out
• Gap between what is scheduled and actual operations

Shapes of Economic Recession and Recovery
24
Informal classification to describe different types of recessions: • V-shaped: normal shape for recession, a brief period of sharp economic decline
followed by quick/smooth recovery
• U-shaped: prolonged contraction and muted recovery to trend line growth
• L-shaped (depression): long-term downturn in economic activity, steep drop followed by a flat line with possibility of not returning to trend line growth
• W-shaped: a double-dip recession, “down up down up” pattern before full recovery
• “Nike swoosh”-shaped*: bounce back sharply but blunt quickly (* Brookings Institution/WEF)
What “recession shape” can be assumed given uncertainties surrounding the outlook?

World’s GDP Projections (by IMF) • How long will the pandemic last and what
will be the severity levels?
• How deep and how long will the global recession be?
• How long will lockdowns and travel restrictions continue?
• How fast will consumer confidence in air travel be restored?
• Will there be a structural shift in industry and consumers’ behaviors?
• How long can the air transport industry withstand the finical adversity?
Previous outbreaks/pandemics had a V-shaped impact on air transport in Asia/Pacific
Source: IATA COVID-19 Updated Impact Assessment (dated 24 March 2020)
The impact of COVID-19 has already surpassed the 2003 SARS outbreak which had resulted in reduction of annual RPKs by 8% and USD 6 billion revenues for Asia/Pacific airlines. The 6-month recovery path of SARS might not apply to today’s situation.

Indicative Scenarios and Paths Forward
28
As overall severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic are still uncertain, four (4) different recovery paths under two (2) indicative scenarios are developed:
• Baseline: counterfactual scenario, in which the COVID-19 pandemic does not occur, that is, originally-planned or business as usual
• Scenario 1: two (2) different paths (similar to Nike swoosh- and W-shaped)
• Scenario 2: two (2) different paths (similar to U- and L-shaped)
• Reference: information only, based on latest airline schedules (similar to V-shaped)
• Notwithstanding the elevated uncertainty surrounding the outlook, a scenario analysis could help gauge potential economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic
• Scenarios are not forecasts of what is most likely to happen. Given rapidly changing circumstances, they are merely indicative of possible paths or consequential outcomes out of many
• The exact path (depth, length and shape) will depend upon various factors, inter alia, duration and magnitude of the outbreak and containment measures, availability of government assistance, consumer confidence, and economic conditions
• With the situation evolving and more information available, scenarios will be adjusted as necessary
29
What does Scenario mean?
Key assumptions
30
• International and domestic passenger traffic has separate scenarios/paths
• Scenarios/paths are differentiated in terms of supply and demand, i.e. – Scale of output or seat capacity change – Degree of consumer confidence that can be translated into demand or load factor as a proxy
• Supply and demand are influenced by: – Different timing and speed of recovery by region, international/domestic, and intra-/inter-region – Global economic contraction
• No consideration is made to social distancing requirements on aircraft, etc.
• Detailed scenario assumptions are summarized in Appendix B
Baseline & Reference
31
• Baseline: originally-planned or business as usual – Counterfactual hypothesis that are expected to occur in the absence of COVID-19 pandemic
– Supply: airlines’ originally-planned schedules supplemented by trend line growth
– Demand: trend line growth of demand from 2019 level
• Reference: V-shaped – Information-only scenario that reflects airlines’ most recent expectation or a “signal” of airlines’
plan to the market (not necessarily realistic)
– Supply: based on latest update of airline schedules filed up to December, which are adjusted weekly by airlines according to the expectation of the evolving situation (quite often managing capacity for a short period due to the uncertainties)
– Demand: quickly returning to Baseline level
Scenarios 1 & 2
32
Scenario 1: Nike swoosh- and W-shaped
• International – Path 1: Smooth capacity recovery to two thirds of
Baseline level by December with pent-up demand – Path 1a: Capacity to start with smooth recovery but
then turn back down due to over-capacity
• Domestic – Path 1: Swift capacity rebound to 92% of Baseline by
December pushed by pent-up demand – Path 1a: Capacity to start with smooth recovery but
then turn back down due to over-capacity
Scenario 2: U- and L-shaped
• International – Path 2: Slow progression of capacity recovery to 55%,
picking up more demand in 4Q – Path 2a: Recovery to one third at diminishing speed
due to respite and continuous demand slump
• Domestic – Path 2: Gradual capacity recovery to 85%, picking up
more demand in 4Q – Path 2a: Capacity recovery to two thirds at diminishing
speed due to sluggish demand growth
In the following analysis, international and domestic scenarios having the same path number are linked with each other, although different combination of scenarios/paths would be possible
Scenario Estimates
33
Figures and estimates herein reflect the latest operational data and schedules filed by airlines but are subject to substantial changes, and will be updated with the situation evolving
and more information available.
34
Three (3) key impact indictors
• Three (3) key impact indicators under four (4) paths of two (2) scenarios: – Impact on passenger seat capacity (supply, % change) – Impact on passenger numbers (demand) – Impact on gross passenger operating revenues of airlines
• Comparison to: – Baseline scenario – 2019 level (year-on-year) – Reference scenario
• Break-down by: – International and domestic – Six (6) geographical regions
Estimation based on actual results of January to June 2020 are used for the key impact indicators. Appendix C details the key impact indicators while Appendix D presents estimation based on actual results by route group.
Impact on Passenger Seat Capacity (Supply)
• Prior to the outbreak, airlines had planned to increase seat capacity in 2020 by 2.8% (international by 2.5% and domestic by 3.0%), compared to 2019.
• According to the latest estimates, passenger seat capacity could instead drop from the above Baseline by 42% to 52% (international by 55% to 67% and domestic by 33% to 41%).
• This capacity level would be 40% to 51% (international 54% to 66% and domestic 31% to 39%) below the 2019 level.
• Biggest capacity reduction (%) is expected to be in Middle East, followed by Africa and Europe.

Impact on Passenger Numbers (Demand)
• Given the originally-planned seat capacity, passenger demand could have increased 151 million for 2020 (international 56 million and domestic 95 million), compared to 2019.
• According to the latest estimates, passenger demand could instead drop from the above Baseline by 2,369 to 2,947 million (international by 1,212 to 1,451 million and domestic by 1,157 to 1,496 million).
• This demand level would be 2,218 to 2,796 million (international by 1,155 to 1,394 million and domestic by 1,063 to 1,402 million) below the 2019 level.
• The most substantial demand reduction (in total number) is expected to be in Asia/Pacific, followed by Europe, hitting its summer travel peak season.

Impact on Gross Passenger Operating Revenues of Airlines
• With the originally-planned seat capacity and trend line growth of demand, airlines’ gross passenger operating revenues could have increased USD 18 billion for 2020 (USD 9 billion from international and USD 9 billon from domestic), compared to 2019.
• According to the latest estimates, airlines’ revenues could instead plummet USD 316 to 390 billion (international USD 213 to 257 billion and domestic USD 102 to 133 billion) below the Baseline, or USD 298 to 373 billion (international USD 204 to 248 billion and domestic USD 94 to 125 billion) below the 2019 level.
• Approximately 60% of revenue loss would be recorded by Asia/Pacific and Europe.
