global air transport passenger traffic has been particularly affected by measures to combat COVID-19. Since February 2020, both the number of global passengers and passenger flight kilometers has decreased worldwide - in Western Europe by about 80 % by the end of 2020. These developments have caused financial losses for both airlines and airports worldwide, critically threatening the existence of a large number of these companies. As the industry is of great economic importance, special government support measures could contribute to the economic recovery of the aviation industry. However, not only should certain companies be supported, but the support measures should be linked to defined and transparent criteria.
全球航空客运受到抗击新冠疫情措施的特别影响。自2020年2月以来，全球客运量和客运飞行里程均有所下降——到2020年底，西欧下降了约80%。这些情况给全球航空公司和机场都造成了经济损失，严重威胁到许多此类公司的生存。由于该行业具有重大经济意义，政府的特别支持措施有助于航空业的经济复苏。然而，不仅应支持某些公司，而且支持措施应与明确且透明的标准挂钩。
