Back to Flight Tracking
"After a tumultuous year, the aviation industry pushes into 2021 with hopes that a vaccine will usher in normalcy for travelers, operators, and their families. With worldwide commercial traffic at -46.50% over 2019, up from the all-time low of -81% back in April, we look forward to the next year as one of continued growth through adversity."
