Dywedodd Airbus wrthyf heddiw fod nifer yr hediadau domestig yn fyd-eang, yn ôl IATA (International Air Transport Association), wedi gostwng 70% a bod y golled mewn refeniw teithwyr yn cyrraedd $314 biliwn. Mae meysydd awyr mwyaf Ewrop wedi rheoli 90% yn llai o hediadau ac mae'r dirwasgiad, ynghyd â risg ganfyddedig o ddal COVID-19 wrth deithio, yn niweidio hyder teithwyr. Nid yw Airbus yn disgwyl i draffig awyr gyrraedd y lefelau cyn yr argyfwng am 3 blynedd ar y gorau, 5 mlynedd o bosibl, ac mae hynny'n cymryd na fydd yna argyfwng yn sgil ail don. Hyd yma, mae oddeutu 57,000 o bobl wedi’u rhoi ar absenoldeb ffyrlo ac, yn anffodus, mae tua 33,500 wedi colli eu swyddi ar draws cwmnïau awyrennau, meysydd awyr a busnesau awyrofod.
Airbus advised me today that according to IATA (International Air Transport Association), worldwide domestic flights have dropped by 70% and the loss of passenger revenue is reaching $314 billion. Europe’s largest airports have managed 90% fewer flights and the recession combined with a perceived COVID-19 infection risk when travelling, is damaging passenger confidence. Airbus does not expect air traffic to reach pre-crisis levels for 3 years at best, possibly 5 years and that is assuming there is no second-wave crisis. To date, approximately 57,000 people have been furloughed and sadly, some 33,500 made redundant across airlines, airports and aerospace businesses.
