    NEW AFRICA BUSINESS NEWS ( NABN ) Freetown, Sierra Leonne- Subject to the unparalleled latch fluff of the flight enterprise, it is not a secret that; it has removed airlines keeping up a forthcoming invoice of $35 billion as compensation to passengers for sold but unused tickets. This appeared as a result of the Novel Coronavirus predicament that insert airline resources, with a contemporary survey by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), forecasting the airlines could be brought so low to as much as $61 billion of their currency substitutes during the next quarter ending June 30th, 2020. They will also post a net loss of $39 billion for the quarter.

    “In addition to unavoidable costs, airlines are faced with a refunding sold but unused tickets as a result of massive cancellations resulting from government-imposed restrictions on travel. The second quarter liability for these is a colossal $35 billion. The cash burn will be severe. We estimate airlines could be burning through $61 billion of their cash balances in the second a quarter,” IATA announces.

    Brazil, Canada, Columbia, and the Netherlands have tried to help their airlines by allowing them to offer passengers travel vouchers in place of cash refunds.

    Kenya Airways has already appealed to the government for a cash bailout in order to stay afloat. Almost all categories of staff have taken a pay cut too.

    Uganda Airlines halted plans to open new regional routes after the airspace was closed. Rwanda too has ground its fleet.

    IATA’s Principal Economist – Pierce Brian, explained the effect of COVID -19 on quarter one revenues would be limited because, it was not until mid-February that disruptions to air travel became pronounced.

    “We started the year strongly and it is not until February that we saw revenues begin to struggle,” he announced during a committee call on March 31st, 2020.

    IATA which has lobbed a 38% investment in demand and full-year losses of $252 billion for 2020, also says that the fall in demand will peak during the second quarter which will see a 71% decline.

    Nonetheless, the continuation of cargo services will limit the fall in revenues to 68%. Varying costs are predicted to fall by 70%, trailing a 65% decline in the amount of aircraft skimming and pointed drops in the price of jet fuel. Still, fuel teetering agreements that were established on pre-crisis projections will see airline fuel costs fall by just 31%

    Synonymous to approximately half of a conventional airline’s cost profile, fixed and semi-fixed costs, are expected to fall by a third as carriers watch the bottom line while trying to preserve the workforce that will be expected for prospective convalescence.

    Alexander de Juniac who’s is doubling as IATA’s Director General and Chief Executive asserts without sudden intervention, the industry’s cash position will be shaky.

    “Airlines cannot cut costs fast enough to stay ahead of the impact of this crisis. We are looking at a devastating net loss of $39 billion in the second quarter. The impact of that on cash burn will be amplified by a $35 billion liability for potential ticket refunds,” he asserted.

    IATA greeted the mix of assistance intervals to the industry that has been announce by the industry such as Colombia, the United States, Singapore, Australia, China, New Zealand and Norway. The US announced a $2 trillion economic stimulus package more than $50 billion of which will go to airlines.

     

     

    Current Outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Disease- Coronavirus advisory information, World Health Organization & United States, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

    Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.

    Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.  Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.

    Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

    Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. Source- WHO
