SINGAPORE - Asian airlines face “drastic” cuts in their planned growth because of the coronavirus crisis, an industry group warned, adding gloom to an already depleted Singapore Airshow as more companies scaled back plans on Monday.
Before the coronavirus hit, the International Air Transport Association had expected passenger numbers to rise by 4% in 2020 and cargo traffic to be 2% higher. “Sure, there were some adjustments by some colleagues but it has not changed our footprint,” U.S. Department of State Assistant Secretary for Political-Military Affairs R. Clarke Cooper said Monday, adding that his agency’s delegation remained fully intact.
Health experts, however, said they were concerned that temperature screening might not be effective, given reports the coronavirus could be spread by people without symptoms. Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Military Industries withdrew from the show late Sunday, citing concerns associated with the coronavirus.
