Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Air Cargo Security and Screening Systems Market

The COVID-19 outbreak has significantly affected the world and is continuing to shatter several countries. The exponential rise in the patient count compelled government authorities to limit the movement of humans, goods, and commodities by enacting travel restrictions, mass lockdowns, and business shutdowns. Lockdown measures resulted in lesser production of commodities and goods and lowered the frequency of service offerings. However, the demand for air cargo remained unaffected during this global crisis, and the operating conditions continued to provide favorable conditions for air cargo operations. Air cargo and freighter operators have reported brisk business owing to the surge in demand for the transportation of COVID-19-related essentials by air. SpiceExpress, an air cargo subsidiary of SpiceJet, has reported an unaltered performance as its fleet is increasingly being deployed to transport essential items and medical goods during the pandemic. The cargo delivered to various parts of the world includes COVID-19 related medical equipment, reagents, enzymes, masks, testing kits and PPE, and gloves.
