AVIATION INDUSTRY

Aviation Industry as a Substantive Contributor to Global Economy:

Air freight/shipment is vital for the consistent functionality of global supply chains. The air travel passage is an indispensable contribution to a variety of sectors, as it allows numerous pecuniary activities through the trade of materials and services via the movement of individuals. Air transport depends on a number of global sectors: provision activities to air conveyance including the maneuver and operational engagements of airports; industrial manufacturing of aircraft; and refined fuel trade (including the combination of biofuels). Chiefly, the aviation sector and airports are deeply and substantively interconnected.

Impact of COVID19 on the Aviation Industry:

The spread of COVID-19 has disturbed downstream sectors and the passage of material goods, detrimentally influencing the worldwide economy. The financial markets face a severe crunch, with even the politically-stable countries undergoing the most lethal effects of the pandemic. No industry is safe from the crises that lay ahead, and the consequential threat to life, employment and the economy overall is likely to be felt for many upcoming months.

“Financially, 2020 will go down as the worst year in the history of aviation. On average, every day of this year will add $230 million to industry losses. In total that’s a loss of $84.3 billion. It means that—based on an estimate of 2.2 billion passengers this year—airlines will lose $37.54 per passenger. That’s why government financial relief was and remains crucial as airlines burn through cash,” maintains Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO.

Air transport signifies a minor stake in the overall GDP, but is strictly interconnected with the activities of other sectors that have a major share in the GDP, predominantly airports and aircraft manufacturing. In the fourth quarter of 2021, it is predicted that airlines universally would undergo a revenue loss of 84.9 billion U.S. dollars.

The historic fall in the utilization of air transport due to the pandemic and strict precautionary measures poses a severe threat to the sustainability of aviation firms, with thousands of people at risk of being unemployed.

Air transport and aviation industry has been the most damaged sector due to COVID19. This has also left the aviation industry in extreme debts, loan pledges, downsizing and equity injections, generating issues of struggling with other competitors.

How the PROORB powered respirator helmet is the Best Solution for the Aviation Industry

Designed at Rapidtack, this meticulously-researched product, the PROORB powered respirator helmet, is the onlys complete solution to the global flying concerns in the post-COVID19 world. The PROORB powered respirator helmet is categorized as a Personal Protective Equipment gear, and complies fully with the international mask policies of all airlines. However, for the complete satisfaction and trust of our customers, we are attempting to get the product an approval-status by the governments that all major airlines operate under the jurisdiction of.

With this status, the airlines will not need the passengers to use a regular mask or powered respirator helmet that unreliably vents out the breathed/infected air into the surroundings. However, this procedure will take some time and therefore, we suggest that the passengers contact their respective airlines prior to booking, in order to verify that they would be using their PROORB powered respirator helmet on the flight.
