Daily Briefing: Singapore's aviation hub status left in limbo amidst COVID-19; Cruise passenger traffic down 52%

From Channel News Asia:

With an increasing number of countries enacting travel restrictions to curb the COVID-19 outbreak, Singapore is left “extremely vulnerable” due to its status as an aviation hub, say analysts.

This comes as Singaporeans were advised on 18 March to defer all travel abroad with immediate effect due to a heightened risk of importing COVID-19 cases into Singapore.

Such restrictions have impacted the airline industry, with numerous airlines suspending flights.

On 17 March, Singapore Airlines (SIA) said it would slash its capacity by 50%, attributing the move to increasing travel restrictions as a result of countries' spread of COVID-19.

Separately, Singapore-based Jetstar Asia announced it was grounding its entire fleet of 18 Airbus 320 aircraft, with all flights suspended for at least three weeks, from 23 March to 15 April.
