Impact of COVID-19
It is well known that the aviation industry
has suffered in the last year as the COVID-19
pandemic wore on.
" Almost overnight, traffic went from 100
percent to 1 percent, and most of the ground
personnel was laid off or made redundant very
soon after, when it was obvious that there was
We put constant
emphasis on safety
procedures and
processes, just culture
and the assessment
of the root causes for
every discrepancy.
- Jo Alex Tanem
a global pandemic. Due to this situation, the
number of aircraft ground handling incidents
was nearly null. But as the industry is now
slowly recovering from the pandemic, there is
a need for a renewed focus on safety awareness
in the perspective of the traffic coming up in
gear again, " says Busk.
" The reason is that, in many cases, there
will be on the ground the same personnel
which was dismissed, perhaps as much as
60-70 percent of all personnel, and after a
brush-up period, there will be a tendency to
continue working as before. "
The recovery of the of flight operations
in Scandinavia has varied depending on the
country.
" In Norway, domestic traffic was not hit
as hard as Sweden and, especially, Denmark.
International traffic is still reduced in all
three countries, but more and more flights are
being inserted to accommodate the numbers
of passengers, especially the holiday period
has given a boost, " says Busk.
The revenue loss in Scandinavia has been
in line with the ground handling industry in
the rest of Europe, according to Tanem.
" The recovery has begun in June and has
continued throughout the summer, " he says.
" We have been seeing big differences between
the airlines and destinations, but the overall
recovery in Scandinavia is in line with the
industry in general. "
