This has been exacerbated by the uneven progress in vaccination rollouts and rapid resurgence in Covid-19 transmissions in some countries, particularly India.
Reflecting the dire operating conditions, only 1.1 million international passengers flew on the region s carriers in March, equivalent to 13.2 per cent of passenger volumes in the same month last year when travel was already in sharp decline.
Available seat capacity averaged 27 per cent of the previous year s volumes, as the majority of the region s commercial passenger fleets remained grounded. The international passenger load factor fell by 29.4 percentage points to average 23.8 per cent for the month.
