AT the image of rail traffic, it is becoming more and more difficult to find a flight. Thousands of them have been canceled by the biggest companies, in particular due to a lack of staff linked to the pandemic.
Air traffic is strongly impacted by the health crisis. In full recovery, companies are canceling their flights. On the 19/20 set on France 3, journalist Maeva Damoy explains this situation. “More than 2,000 flights were canceled around the world on Christmas Eve. Some companies are downsizing because of employees affected by the virus, sick or absent”, she explains. More than 315 flights were canceled this weekend by the American companies Delta and United, against dozens for SAS and Alaska Airlines.
“This should not work out with the spread of Omicron. Some countries are taking measures, such as Morocco which has decided to extend the suspension of all passenger flights until January 31”, specifies Maeva Damoy. When Omicron was discovered traffic dropped by 20% at European airports. Air France also notes a decrease in flight searches for early 2022. In addition, Lufthansa has cut 33,000 flights this winter.
