In this study, an analysis is conducted on the prospects of global civil aviation pre and post COVID-19 outbreak. The research involves a survey to determine various aspects including employment roles, income levels, skills required for jobs, job security as well as attitudes towards working in said sector with data collected from 2019 onwards till present day (2021). What we found indicates that the pandemic had devastating effects on the industry with noticeable decreases in air travel demand coupled with disruptions experienced within its supply chain. Consequently, many airlines and airports are struggling immensely which has resulted in significant reductions or layoffs among staff members. Despite these challenges however it provides an opportunity to innovate alongside revisitation of business models hence necessitating collaboration between governmental institutions and stakeholders who can offer financial support while developing new safety protocols along with cutting-edge technologies necessary for renewed consumer confidence regarding air travels moving forward into safer skies ahead!
