PARIS: Airlines operating in the Asia-Pacific region stand to lose a combined US$27.8 billion of revenue this year in the ongoing coronavirus crisis, the International Air Transport Association said on Thursday . The estimate is based on projections of a 13 per cent full-year decline in passenger demand, mostly in China, the trade body said in a statement.IATA said its estimate assumed that COVID-19 behaves like a SARS outbreak nearly two decades ago, which was"characterised by a six-month period with a sharp decline followed by an equally quick recovery".Carriers outside the Asia-Pacific region are seen suffering US$1.5 billion in losses.
