The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the economy, leaving most sectors in dire straits. The aviation
industry is one of the worst affected. After phenomenal growth in air travel over the last decade, the crisis has
left a devastating effect on aviation’s two primary constituents – airlines and airports.
The safe re-opening of domestic and international travel is crucial in order to revive international business travel
and help kickstart economic recovery.
The aviation industry has been collaborative and proactive in ensuring the health and safety of air travellers
during the pandemic. In the aftermath of the second wave, there is a need to establish a fresh set of protocols
to reinstate confidence among travellers.
This white paper is an attempt by the aviation and the health industry to come together and present a range of
realistic, implementable, sustainable options and measures that can be considered to facilitate seamless and
safe travel. These measures will help catalyze the return to normalcy and allow free movement of people across
domestic and international borders, which will act as a huge force multiplier in economic recovery.
We hope to work closely with the Government of India to take these proposals forward and arrive at safe and
seamless ways to open up our skies onceagain.
