coronavirus airfare cost

after coronavirus, what will happen to the cost of airfare?

When the emergency of coronavirus end or start to go down, ¿thaté marketá with the cost of tickets toéprisoners? ¿Move upáno bajarán?

Always attending to and responding to the many questions that have been asked about the future of aviationón once this whole situationón finishes, attempté respond in this post to someone who called meó a lot of attentionón.

Post coronavirus, ¿thaté marketá with the cost of tickets toéprisoners?

Más what to say what to happená, is what for himógic dutyíto pass with the prices that existístill on the market before the global emergency.

I want to emphasize that these words that come are not a guaranteeíto or much less a concrete and confirmed fact, máyes, it's an estimateón, pronóstico o análisis de la situationón current and what will comeíthe future.

What can happen, let's divide it into 3 possible panoramas:

Panorama 1

  • Everything remains the same: the prices I knewímasters stay in búquest to return to the known profitability and that the airlinesíyou knowíeven before the emergency. In this panorama you caníwe love to see a núsimilar number of passengers to those we saw before in a few months everything will return to normal.

Panorama 2

  • Prices rise: taking into account that they are expectedéloss of más de 130 one billion dólares for the industry, the aerosolsíneas podríto make the decisionón to increase their prices with the aim of recovering income and getting ahead, taking advantage of the need that people will haveá to fly again. To beíin this scenario fewer passengers, but paying más.

Panorama 3

  • Prices go down (my pronóstic): a weakened industry, distrust of users for getting on an airplaneón for fear of spreading the disease, hairá that the planes areén más vacíyou than expected, Faced with this panorama, the Aerolíwon't see youán obliged to reduce the costs of tickets toéprisoners and in turn, lower your profit margins, all with the aim of stimulating the market and regaining people's trust.

Whatever the scenario, the situationóto beá críethics for the great majoríaerosolíneas and so much government, how to saveíwhat the duty industry revolves aroundán take part so that we can all fly again.

  1. I bet on the panorama 2, It is true that optimistic opinions speak of economic recovery, In the same way we must be realistic, of what panorama 3 You can talk when there are airlines covered by the bankruptcy decree, which leads to layoffs of your employees, can anyone operate with it 30% of his ability ???
    Personally I doubt it, there are many costs involved, in addition to the legislation of each country and operating costs, less passengers less revenue, less money to pay creditors, a globally battered economy, who sees their income reduced by increasing their cost of living due to biosafety regulations, I respect the criteria, but there is no one blinder than the one who does not want to see…!!!

  2. Equal, I'm leaning towards the third part, in which airlines would have to lower fares or, at least stay at pre-pandemic rates.

  3. I agree, third scenario, they will necessarily have to lower the price of air tickets, although with the danger that passengers will not respond.… and small airlines are on the verge of bankruptcy.

  5. I lean towards the panorama 2 or at best panorama 1:

    Passengers will have fewer options (routes and airlines) and higher prices.

    The crisis will cause companies to reduce their fleets (it's already happening), as well as many unprofitable routes. Some companies (the weakest) will disappear, and will be absorbed by other companies, reducing competition. Solid airline groups will have control of the market.

    further, for economy of scale, as there are fewer planes in the air, There will be fixed costs in the airlines that will affect the price of tickets.

    In the case of Colombia, in addition to an increase in flight prices, We will also be affected by the exchange rate in the medium and short term..

    All this already happened in the 9/11.

    very good post, In the same way I lean towards the panorama 3 since the industry will need to stay afloat by lowering its costs and regaining confidence in travelers. I think it is a good time to make alliances with ministries or tourism secretaries to offer packages so that everyone in the tourism chain benefits.. As well as offering travelers discount vouchers to family members for frequent routes and/or trips.. The most important thing will be the innovation in marketing that the airlines will propose.
