AirInsight US Airline Index
If one were to assume that the increase in traffic since vaccinations in early 2021 continues at the same rate (which is a big assumption), we would arrive back at 2019 levels sometime between day 171 ( June 20 ) and 215 ( Aug 3 ). That would predict a strong 2H performance for the US airline industry – assuming trends continue to grow at the current rate. The question now becomes if this is true, how quickly can airlines recover planes from the desert, re-certify pilots as current, and resume normal operational capacity over the next three months?
