COVID-19 PIVOT (COVOT)

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, airlines have suffered immensely, as governments across the globe start to close down their borders or apply isolation guidelines on arriving passengers. This has resulted in many airlines significantly reducing the number of daily flights they run, and in some cases, stopping flights altogether. Some airline operations have even collapsed. As of late March, global flights had reduced by 60% with around 60,000 flights a day.

Possible COVOTS

  • Provide your in-flight entertainment content on-demand to frequent flyer members
  • Use the in-flight catering services to create home delivered meals
