Literature review demonstrates widespread operational disruptions across the aviation industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting critical pathways toward resilient recovery.
The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed an unprecedented upheaval in the aviation industry, marking one of the most significant disruptions in recent history. From March 2020 to May 2020, the industry experienced an unimaginable reduction in flight numbers, setting off a tumultuous journey of adaptation and recovery. Throughout this crisis, a plethora of scientific studies have emerged, examining both the direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic on aviation and vice versa. This paper presents a comprehensive review of these impacts within the context of recent literature. Drawing from nearly 200 meticulously curated papers published in 2021/2022, we have categorized them into eight distinct themes: airlines, airports, passengers, workforce, markets, contagion, sustainability, and economics. Through a systematic analysis, we distill the essence of the findings, shedding light on the multifaceted challenges and opportunities faced by the aviation industry in the wake of the pandemic. Furthermore, we outline a set of future research directions and policy considerations essential for fostering a pandemic-resilient aviation ecosystem. As the industry navigates through these unprecedented times, this research serves as a valuable compass, guiding stakeholders towards informed decision-making and sustainable recovery strategies.
