The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted the operations of air carriers, airports and air navigation service providers (ANSPs). The decisions taken today, and in the months to come, will impact the future of the industry. It is imperative for States, industries and all stakeholders to have reliable information and tool to monitor and assess the evolving impact of COVID-19 and leverage key indicators to make informed, data-driven decisions.

ICAO, using ADS-B Flight aware data and the ICAO Enterprise Data Management (EDM), has worked jointly with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of Turkey to develop interactive dashboards to monitor four aspects of the impact of COVID-19 on civil aviation.

• Operational impact: impact on the number of flights, seats offered, for passenger and cargo flights segmented into international and domestic operations.
• Economic impact: impact on the revenues of air carriers, airports and ANSPs.
• Aircraft utilization: aircraft utilization and grounded aircraft by aircraft category.
• Country-pair traffic: level of flights at the country-pair level on weekly basis.

The reliable and timely analysis presented in the dashboards will be of significant value to States, industries and all stakeholders in planning and making implementation decisions to restart and recover from the impacts of the pandemic.
