The United States of America intends to lift the air embargo on more than 30 countries around the world, which is supposed to be in effect starting from Monday.
The decision has restored hope for the aviation and air transport sector in the United States, after tightening travel restrictions that were put in place due to the Corona pandemic.
It is worth noting that the flight ban and the tightening of travel restrictions have affected several sectors in the United States during the past two years, especially the aviation, hotel and retail sectors.
The decision to lift the ban will in turn contribute to creating an atmosphere of optimism to restore confidence in the aviation sector, as airlines have reported a jump in bookings to the United States, and they expect an immediate increase In the number of passengers, even before the holidays.
United Airlines said it expects a 50 percent increase in international passenger arrivals this week compared to the previous week, when it took in 20,000 passengers. To confirm the same thing, Delta Airlines expects to complete the number of international passengers on its flights in the next few weeks.
This is scheduled, according to the (Hooper) flight tracking website, to increase the capacity of American International Airlines for the months of November and December by more than double what it was a year ago and by 28% over 2019.
Despite all this positive atmosphere, the number of travelers is still below pre-pandemic levels. United Airlines will operate in November 2021 with a capacity of 69% compared to 2019 levels, an increase of 63% from the previous month.
