A severe impact on aviation is seen by a majority 58% of the poll respondents. The severity of impact on industrial/manufacturing sector, which consumes approximately 50% of the global energy and feedstock fuels according to BP, is foreseen to be lesser, as chosen by 29% of the poll respondents.
Personal transportation and marine are predicted to witness an even lesser impact, with 7% and 6% of the respondents choosing them, respectively.
The transport industry, however, accounts for 21% of global energy consumption, according to BP.
Aviation is facing one of the biggest challenges in decades, as countries where more than 90% of the world’s population lives have announced either partial or full ban on the entry of travellers from other countries according to Pew Research Center. Globally, approximately 80% of the flights were grounded by early April, according to IATA’s latest impact assessment published in mid-April.
