“…The biggest issue for the air transport industry post-pandemic is uncertainty; hence, it is necessary to develop long-term countermeasures that recognize its importance ( Linden, 2021 ). Linden (2021) introduced a three-step process to embrace uncertainty: sensing, seizing, and transforming.…”

In recent years, domestic and international air passenger markets have expanded steadily around the world with the rapid growth of low cost carriers and aggressive route expansion; however, the unprecedented crisis caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in greatly decreased air travel and an uncertain future for the aviation industry. The present study examined South Korean passengers, airlines, and government policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it suggests policy directions for the pandemic and post-pandemic periods. Air passengers respond to internal and external factors, and their demand for travel will increase with the reduction in global COVID cases and vaccine distribution. South Korean airlines have used various means to overcome decreased passenger numbers, such as domestic route transitions, freight transportation expansion, and mergers and acquisitions; Korean Air recorded a profit through its foray into cargo transport in 2020. The Korean government is trying to curb the spread of COVID-19 and help the industry to recover by establishing an airport quarantine system at Incheon international airport. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, it is necessary to continuously monitor the responses of passengers, industry, and governments and to share relevant information.

“…The governments must prioritize the maintenance of the climatic and environmental targets attained in these crucial months of lockdown, while looking at the industrial future not with limitations but with incentives to reach high levels of eco-sustainability [72][73][74][75][76]. Short-term practical recommendations should encourage a rearrangement of funding and dialogue for long-term planning with different stakeholders and shareholders with constructive and stimulating strategies should be promoted [77]. The reorganization is required not only in the funding process but in the infrastructure as well.…”

The current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to multiple changes in the international market as well as in the lifestyle of people worldwide. The transport sector has undoubtedly been one of the most affected sectors due to restrictions imposed by the governments across the world to protect the health of their citizens, particularly the restrictions imposed on the operation of airlines. On the other hand, the reduction in travel by means of transport has contributed in part to the improvement in the environmental conditions on account of reduction in the levels of CO2 emissions and pollution. The present paper discusses the major consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the aviation industry. The data and critical observations presented in this paper were collected from the detailed studies published on this crucial topic and thus provide a broad overview to the reader.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic had dramatic consequences for both Polish and global aviation in 2020. The restrictions introduced by the governments, involving blockades, mobility constraints or mandatory quarantines, hit the sector hard causing limitations in the operations of the leading airlines and airports worldwide and a drastic increase in the risk of potential bankruptcy cases among the companies operating on the aviation market (Linden, 2020;Sun, Wandelt, and Zhang, 2020).…”

Purpose:The subject matter of the research was the effect of the COVID -19 pandemic on the operation of air transport in Poland. The primary research objective was to present the key actions the aviation industry had to undertake to address new challenges. Design/Approach: The analysis of the economic consequences having an impact on the operation of passenger air transport and actions undertaken at Polish airports in the new situation based on available literature, statistical data, and aviation market reports. Findings: The rapid spread of the SARS CoV-2 virus initially resulted in a decreased demand for air transport and ultimately led to flight suspension and airport closure. Past observations and statistical data analyses clearly demonstrate that the aviation industry has changed due to the pandemic. Practical Implications: Continuing developments in air transport entail not only an economic advantage but also stimulated investments in state-of-the-art technologies. Through an increased application of expert knowledge and innovative approaches of many sectors, there will be new opportunities to address the issue of the impact of crises on air transport. Originality/Value: The indication of key actions undertaken by the aviation industry in Poland to mitigate the effects of the pandemics, which are long-term and will guarantee successful air transport into the future.
