US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

Covid-19
US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

Covid-19
US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

Covid-19
US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

Covid-19
US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

Covid-19
US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

Covid-19
US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

US travel ban on European countries comes into force
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac stated (12-Mar-2020) the US
Governments decision to introduce restrictions on travel between the US and
Schengen market will create enormous cash-flow pressures for airlines
The US-Schengen market was worth USD206 billion in 2019 and it is expected
the markets which will experience the heaviest impact are going to be US-
Germany (USD4 billion) US-France (USD35 billion) and US-Italy (USD29 billion)
US President Donald Trumplsquos travel ban on 26 European nations has come into
force in the US as part of a contingency plan to tackle the coronavirus crisis The
ban went into effect at midnight on Friday but only after the original
announcement sparked chaos at a number of European airports as Americans
sought ways to return home before it went into effect
The ban stops most non-Americans who have been in Schengen Area from
entering the United States
外国人不少都知道 Schengen 是 Travel Free所以没必要提
The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

Freight Capacity in China
Forecast
Speed of flight suspension and restoration at the national level is positively
correlated with the epidemic indicators We will continue to release epidemic-
related indexes to offer ideas for the civil aviation industry on strategic planning
At present the economic exchanges between countries still maintain a strong
momentum which is accompanied by a strong demand for freight Besides
insufficient capacity of aircraft bellyhold brings chances for the development of
air cargo

The Trump administration on Saturday expanded travel restrictions from Europe
to include the UK and Ireland works to slow the spread of coronavirus
The ban on foreign nationals entering the US from UK or Ireland will begin at
midnight on Monday Vice President Mike Pence said
It comes on top of restrictions on entry into the US from 26 countries in Europe
that Trump announced on Wednesday President Donald Trump also said he was
considering restrictions on travel within the United States though didnt specify
details of the potential domestic bans
By comparing the daily number of seats on flights operated between US and
major European countries as well as transatlantic routes in 2019 and 2020
provided by Airsavvi we make the CARDI (Real-time Dynamic Indicators of
Novel Coronavirus Affecting Airline Operations) to quantitatively analyze the
impact of the epidemic and observe real-time changes of the curve
CARDI Analysis
Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

Prediction
Combining the CARDI and actual data in China we make a forecast of the flight
operation between the Schengen area and the US We predict that it will reduce
to 70 this week and decline rapidly in the next 10 days or so After that it will
remain stable at 50 for quite a long time
Scope of analysis Operated flights between the Schengen area and the US
(March 11-April 11)
There is no obvious decrease of seats provided on operated flights in UK France
Germany and Spain However Italy has witnessed rapid seat declines due to the
severe impact of the epidemic and the unprecedented lockdown of the country
from March 8 Itrsquos predicted that other countries will also experience more
serious reduction in future flight operations
The wide ranging effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on the global aviation
continue unabated a growing number of airlines have unveiled measures to
combat the effects of the COVID-19 epidemics including grounding aircraft
cutting capacity and furloughing staff
Since March 2020 the number of airports in mainland China that have reduced
flights by more than 50 year-on-year has begun to decrease while the number
of airports in other countries and territories has been gradually increasing

Speed of flight suspension and restoration at the national level is positively
correlated with the epidemic indicators We will continue to release epidemic-
related indexes to offer ideas for the civil aviation industry on strategic planning
At present the economic exchanges between countries still maintain a strong
momentum which is accompanied by a strong demand for freight Besides
insufficient capacity of aircraft bellyhold brings chances for the development of
