Are you more hesitant to travel by plane due to this year's aviation incident?
If so, you are not alone – because increased uncertainty affects
Airlines industry revenue.
A new survey by “The Points Guy” and Harris Polly shows that 65% of Americans are nervous about flying in light of recent incidents…
Includes A fatal collision Above Washington DC US Army Black Hawk Helicopter and American Airlines Jet January…and the Delta Airplane It turned over in Toronto last month.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian says the crash is at least partially seen by travel pullback airlines this year, and with declining spending by businesses and consumers due to economic uncertainty.
These events have slightly worsened the impact on us. It was a question not only about businesses and consumers, but also about the safety of the industry.
Bastian didn't say how much ticket sales fell, but the company reduced its quarterly expected revenue growth by 50%.
Americans also cut their quarterly revenue outlook, stating that they expect little change in revenue from a year ago, rather than previous forecasts of a 3-5% increase.

A day after Washington crashed, Trump denounced efforts to improve diversity in aviation control staff, saying Musk cited current air traffic control technology as “stricken catastrophic obstacles to serious risks for air travelers' safety.”
Transport Secretary Sean Duffy said Tuesday that the Federal Aviation Administration's systems are safe, but at the same time, he announced plans to enhance the airport's air traffic control system with the latest technology over the next four years, but used artificial intelligence to identify “hot spots” where close encounters between aircraft are frequently occurring.
