IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT MARKET
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to one of the biggest challenges to the sustainability of the aviation industry at the global level. There is a tremendous shift in the airport operations and several other passenger processing changes due to the fast-spreading nature of this disease. The aviation industry, particularly the airport sector, is focusing on providing the passenger a different quality level of service in comparison to the previous norms. There is a steep fall in demand for air transport as a result of the cross-border travel restrictions imposed by governments to restrict the virus's transmission. Many steps have been taken by air companies and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to prevent the spread of COVID-19. According to IATA, flights are categorized into three levels: (1) high-risk flights, (2) medium-risk flights, and (3) low-risk flights, and differentiated prevention and control measures are applied after a comprehensive evaluation of the outbreak at the place of origin of the flights. Thus, the airport management is bound to be more proactive and capable of implementing digital transformation to ensure the passengers safe and healthy air travel. Therefore, though there has been a slowdown in the growth of Ground Support Equipment market due to the impact of COVID-19, the changes and shifts in airport management due to the "new normal" will bolster the growth of Ground Support Equipment market.
