Industry Groups Say 4.8 million Aviation Jobs at Risk
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) renew calls for government bailouts.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) on Tuesday renewed calls for government intervention to prevent what they called an employment catastrophe in the aviation industry. Estimates from the Air Transport Action Group suggest some 4.8 million aviation workers’ jobs remain at risk as a result of air travel demand falling more than 75 percent in August 2020 compared with the same month a year earlier.
