Outlook for aviation in 2023

The global aviation industry will return to profit for the first time since 2019 as passenger demand continues to improve and Covid-19 related restrictions ease.

 

In the Middle East, airlines are also set to benefit from higher oil prices.

The optimistic forecast will depend on the impact of headwinds such as high jet fuel prices and reduced consumer spending amid an economic downturn.
