对于航空业来说，2019年几乎是上一辈的事，当时航空旅行创历史新高，制造商的订单已积压多年。考虑到市场影响的因素，航空业市场在新冠疫情以后的一段时间内可能会有所不同。

2019 seems like a lifetime ago, a time when air travel was at an all-time high and manufacturers' orderbooks were brimming with years of backlogs. The airline industry will likely not be the same post-COVID-19 for some time given the factors influencing the market. 

国际航空运输协会（IATA）预计2021年全年的交通量将恢复到疫情之前的水平的51％，但是由于目前疫情的反弹，最新一轮旅行限制意味着至少在2021年上半年的交通量无法达到许多地区的期望值。尽管在欧洲、亚洲和其他地区仍然存在禁航和旅行限制的风险，但中国和北美不断增长的航空旅行需求却预示着更好的市场恢复时机。其他有希望的市场包括：航空货运业务以接近创纪录的高水平运行，公务机的运营率/利用率在大多数细分市场也都接近完全恢复。空客的A320至少还有7年的积压订单，而尽管疫情对宽体机订单产生了影响，但即使没有新增的宽体机订单，现有的订单在预计的生产率下也可以持续5年。

IATA projected traffic to return to 51% of pre-COVID-19 levels for the full year, but the latest round of travel restrictions amid a rise in COVID-19 infection rates mean traffic for at least the first half of the year will fall short of expectations in many regions. While the risk of lockdowns and travel restrictions remains in Europe, Asia, and other areas, pockets of increasing air travel demand in China and North America signal better times.  Other promising aspects include air cargo operations over the last year functioning at near-record highs and business aircraft operations/utilization are at near full recovery in most of their segments as well.  Airbus still has at least 7 years of backlog for the A320 and despite the impacts to the widebody orderbook, the orderbook is at least 5 years in the future at estimated production rates, even if no further orders are placed.

在短期内，各国政府的补贴计划正在支持全球航空公司，因为他们认为这些航空公司在未来可以恢复。对航空公司未来的ASK（可用座位千米数）或时刻表进行的分析显示，航空公司对2021年上半年之前客流量的急剧增长抱有希望。虽然就现役机队而言，疫情使许多飞机处于停飞或封存状态，以等待更好的时机回归； 但是，航空公司们将存储的飞机当作重大投资，而不是退役这些飞机，这意味着他们准备好利用这些飞机满足客流激增的需求。

In the short term, various national government subsidy programs are supporting devasted airline businesses around the globe believing that their airlines have a future.  Analysis of airlines’ future ASKs (Available Seat Kilometers) or schedules shows airlines’ hopefulness around dramatic increases in passenger traffic before the first half of the year. In terms of active aircraft, the pandemic has put many aircraft into various states of inactivity or storage awaiting better times to come.  But the mere fact that owners of these aircraft are investing significant resources by storing their aircraft rather than disposing of them means they are poised to capitalize on passenger demand returning.
