Cirium is carefully analyzing the global impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus), on travel and tourism, by tapping into Cirium Core data sets and leveraging our expert teams. We are providing insights on flight disruption across the globe and what this means for airlines and airports; reviewing the aircraft groundings by airline and aircraft types; and analyzing the fleet leasing and aircraft values informatics.
With so many rapid developments, visualizing the analytics becomes critical to understanding what is happening across the industry. We want to enable the industry to quickly respond and better solve problems through access to data and actionable insights.
