The spread of the COVID-19 disease caused by the respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has resulted in unpredicted measures restricting daily flights. Although passenger demand for travel has considerably reduced, the pre-existing impacts of gases generated by aeroplane engines on the environment are still substantial. This paper uses a modelling-based scenario analysis to assess the restriction policies relating to air transport in Argentina, Brazil and Colombia during and after the pandemic and their effects on the environment. The simulation results highlight the need to reduce the negative environmental impact produced by the aviation sector and suggest that policymakers should try to focus on creating ways to reduce the impact made by the aviation industry on the environment, through a coordinated environmental policy between countries, including the three that are the subject of the present case study in order to highlight these issues.
由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染引起的2019冠状病毒病的传播导致了限制日常航班的意外措施。尽管旅客的出行需求大幅下降,但飞机发动机产生的气体对环境的先前影响仍然很大。本文采用基于模型的情景分析,评估了阿根廷、巴西和哥伦比亚在疫情期间及之后与航空运输相关的限制政策及其对环境的影响。模拟结果凸显了减少航空部门产生的负面环境影响的必要性,并建议政策制定者应致力于通过各国之间协调一致的环境政策,找到减少航空业对环境影响的方法,包括本案例研究的三个国家,以突出这些问题。
