NEW YORK, April 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/
Leisure travel in America will push the US domestic airline industry to a COVID recovery by early 2022 according to a new report from consulting firm Oliver Wyman. A year ago, we would have thought that a full domestic recovery in this timeframe for the US was almost impossible, but the combination of pent-up demand, economic stimulus, and access to vaccines is making a difference, said Tom Stalnaker, a partner and global aviation practice leader at Oliver Wyman. We are still far from a full recovery for the overall industry, but we expect some of the airlines to start turning cashflow positive in a matter of months, particularly in the US.
Oliver Wyman Predicts COVID Herd Immunity for U.S. by Mid-Summer March 16, 2021
The U.S. will reach herd immunity threshold when more than 71% of the U.S. population has been exposed to COVID or effectively vaccinated against it, most likely by mid-summer, says a management consultant firm that has been tracking COVID cases.
However, the country will see significant variations by states and must watch out for the potential impact of new variants of SARS-CoV-2, according to Oliver Wyman’s COVID-19 Pandemic Navigator.
States such as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island will reach herd immunity first as early as the end of May or early June because these states had the highest levels of infection to date (including detected cases and estimated undetected cases), according to Oliver Wyman’s analysis.
