India is among the last two countries among the G-20 nations in terms of recovery in travel and entertainment consumer spending and it is a strong indication of how far we are from pulling out our travel sector from the current huge mess. As per Mastercard recovery insights for month of July 2020, India is on the 19th position in the elite group achieving a level of less than even 20 percent of July 2019 level.

Global passenger traffic is not going to return to pre-COVID-19 levels until 2024. And this is going to happen a year later than was projected previously.

As per the forecast, the recovery in short haul travel is still expected to happen faster than for long haul travel. Recovery to pre-COVID-19 levels, however, will also slide by a year from 2022 to 2023. For 2020, global passenger numbers (enplanements) are expected to decline by 55% compared to 2019. While in April, the forecast was of 46% decline. Obviously, things have gone worse. June 2020 passenger traffic foreshadowed the slower-than-expected rec...
