Commercial aviation is “facing an uphill battle” as it attempts to adjust to new worldwide situations wrought by the Covid-19 pandemic, according to global financial audit and consulting firm Deloitte. In its recently issued 2020 Aerospace and Defense Outlook midyear update, the firm noted that it sees a prolonged recovery for the sector, which has seen a significant reduction in both international and domestic passenger traffic, particularly on the heels of a production decline in 2019.
