okay within the market – especially
when we compare it to 2018 rather than SANTO DOMINGO NEWARK 31.4%

Domestic travel is still weathering the NEWARK SANTO DOMINGO 13.5%
market conditions, with only -2.2% YTD,

America has only recently reacted to the
DELHI RIYADH 102%

been the least affected with only -9%

more of a hit recently decreasing to
ABU DHABI ISLAMABAD 53.0%

MARKETS WITH POSITIVE GROWTH

ORIGIN DESTINATION L2W

WHAT WE SEE KUMAMOTO SEOUL 1077%

APAC, where the virus first took hold, has BANGKOK MELBOURNE 822.8%
seen a large decrease in bookings. BANGKOK SYDNEY 185%
However, this rate of decline is
plateauing. As we see from the negligible SEOUL YANGON 29.9%
difference between the L2W growth rate
of -65.1% and LD growth rate of -69.7%. SEOUL COLOMBO 20.5%

So, one would expect the volumes to DELHI TORONTO 17.5%

become consistent day to day, in the SEOUL TASHKENT 12%
coming weeks, and then possibly
beginning to increase again. HONG KONG MANILA 32.6%

However, international and intra-region

traffic to some destinations has seen
some growth vs last year, as shown by the
table on the right.
