Will air travel take off again in 2021

Tentative recovery in air travel is still set to begin in 2021, but more slowly than in earlier forecasts and growth is far from uniform across markets. Vaccine roll-out is continuing, but the slow and uneven pace highlights that vaccinations alone will not be sufficient to fully restore pre-pandemic trends. The outlook and risks will be discussed by country and region, along with key drivers for growth.
