How Aviation and the Airline Industry has Changed in 2020?
2020 is a year we want to forget, but we will not forget.
This video captures the top aviation moments in 2020. Aviation started the year on a high, we saw the Boeing 777X make its maiden voyage in January. But at the same time, China got hit hard with Coronavirus and it is spreading fast and at an alarming rate. Aviation came to the rescue, with flights to repatriate citizens back home.
Then we saw a systematic lockdown across the world, with thousands of planes grounded in an unprecedented way. Many jobs have been lost… With most passengers flights being grounded, it almost broke the logistic chain. The demand for cargo was also unprecedented. We saw every airline flying cargo missions to carry masks, PPE and other medical supplies using passenger planes.
Then summer came and things eased up a little. With many countries re-opening I now have the opportunity to fly again, with this I want to record and document what airlines have been doing in response to covid.
Many airports have also suffered badly, with drops of up to 90% in traffic the terminal is like a ghost town. Airlines have started to enrol passengers using their biometric data, so your eyes and face became your boarding pass. The Boarding process has also changed; a lot of airlines are providing hygiene and wellness kits onboard to their customers. You can see flight attendants wearing masks and gloves, some are even dressing in full PPE.
Initially, airlines resorted to providing only box meals to passengers; this was in a bid to reduce contact, to lower cost and also due to some catering supplies being unavailable at outstations. I am glad to report that most airlines have now returned to their usual service levels, with everything being sealed or wrapped.
What’s breaking every aviation enthusiast's heart is the retirement of the 747s. KLM, Qantas and British Airways have all decided to bring forward their retirement dates. COVID also posted an uncertainty on the world’s biggest airplane, the A380, which has also become a casualty of the downturn.
At last, some good news. The covid vaccine is being made available. The timely transportation of vaccines will be aviation’s next challenge!
2020 has been a roller coaster year in commercial aviation. Words can’t express the emotions we have been through….I want to thank you for your support and viewership in the past year. Here we hope for a better year ahead.

What Does The Future Of Air Travel Look Like?
Of all the industries the coronavirus pandemic has affected, the airline industry is among those that have been hit the hardest. According to the International Air Transport Association, airlines' passenger revenue is estimated to sink by over $300 billion from 2019. In the age of social distancing, planes are not designed to keep passengers six feet apart. Still, airlines are making drastic changes to their travel policies, pushing sanitation efforts, and more to attract weary travelers back to the skies.

Airline Ticket Pricing & Why It Seems So Wacky Sometimes
Lucky from OMAAT talks about airline pricing , price discrimination & making sense of certain ticket prices .
One of the questions I get most from readers is how to airlines price tickets? Because they can't make sense of a certain ticket price. Why, for example, is it more expensive to fly just the 100 mile flight from San Diego to Los Angeles than it is to fly to San Diego on that same flight and connect to London even though that is about 50 times further. Do airlines even have a pricing strategy?
The biggest point of confusion for people is that they are assuming airlines are charging fares based on the cost of providing that seat. While in other industries, most companies would never sell something at a loss. In the case of the airline industry that's exactly how it works. Because airlines are trying to figure out what is the most revenue they can get for every single seat on that plane.
They use all kind of price discrimination techniques in order to get as much as they can and this most fundamentally comes down to differentiating business travelers from leisure travelers. Of course that is painting with a very broad brush and you're never going to fully maximize revenue but the kind of techniques they used to price discriminate are like having day of week restrictions, for example having different fares on Mondays and Fridays vs Tues & Weds.
Sometimes they have Saturday night minimum stays business travelers aren't spending the night somewhere. Often airlines will charge more for a direct flight than they would for a connecting flight. That might seem illogical because you think it's more expensive for them to land and take off. But they know that people are willing to pay a premium to fly non-stop especially business travelers.
This is why you will typically see if an airline has a hub somewhere, that the tickets are the most expensive on them to and from that airport because they know that if they have the schedule & a lot of non-stop flights, that business travelers are willing to spend more on those flights.
Some of the airlines can price discriminate based on the market your originating in. Airlines know that different cities has different levels of disposable income and have different levels of business development. As a result you might find for example a flight from New York to Columbo Sri Lanka is going to be significantly more expensive than that same routing in reverse.
The idea is that if the airlines know there are going to be empty seats, they are still going to try & sell them even if it's at a loss. This is why we sometimes see such cheap business class in economy fares.
So if you see a $500 round trip ticket to China unfortunately that's not even covering the cost of your seat really on that plane. But t they're doing that to fill the plane because the people who are really paying the bill for the plane are the business class travelers who are spending an outrageous amounts for those seats.
For example there are people who are spending $10.000 - $15,000 on business round trip tickets whether from the US to Europe or Asia. It's those few people who are booking those very expensive seats who are really paying the fuel bill, helping the airline make money. While everyone else is just trying to cover a portion of the fuel.
To sum it up airline pricing really doesn't make sense and it's not supposed to make sense. Airlines are using all kinds of complex techniques to price discriminate based on how much they think you are willing to pay. For airlines pricing strategy it's all about what is the most they can get out of every single seat. Sometimes they are going to be making money on you and sometimes they are going to be losing money on you. But it is still better for the airline to have that seat full than empty.
It is a constant battle between trying to get the plane as full as possible and trying to get people to pay as much per ticket as possible. airline pricing model
