COVID-19 Impact on Flight Simulators Market
Flight simulators are amongst the most vulnerable verticals hit by COVID-19 pandemic. As airline companies struggle to make ends meet, many have suspended all operations. Governments are deploying air fleets to rescue citizens stranded in foreign countries. This further strains cash reserves of airline companies. Since flights are being flown on a pro-bono basis. Government rescue funds offer some sigh of relief, but a full-fledged recovery is only possible post the pandemic. This detrimental impact on the airline industry is likely to cause a significant fall in the demand for flights simulators. As the industry faces an excess of idle workforce they will not invest in training new pilots during the pandemic.
Market players are in the long haul, even after the pandemic, the airline industry would be on a steep downfall for a while – in terms of ticketing, and on premise sales. Our analysis reveals that there would hardly be a sign of normalcy before Q3 2020. Financial burden of current outstanding refunds, and consumer behavior post COVID-19 will dictate the recovery of the airline industry. Which will further influence the recovery and uptake in demand for flight simulators during the forecast period.
