Analysis of the Impact of Air Transportation on the Spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Background

Respiratory complaints occur in COVID-19 infection (Acter et al., 2020). COVID-19 can spread through small droplets or mouths that spread into the environment where there is coughing or breathing. COVID-19 viruses fall on objects and surfaces around the person. People get infected by touching the eyes, nose, or mouth after touching the COVID-19 virus-containing objects or surfaces (Ali & Alharbi, 2020). People are, therefore, essential to stay at least a few meters (called social distance) away from a sick person (Paital et al., 2020). Authorized institutions took curfews and aimed to prevent people from approaching each other and slow the spread of this pandemic. For the first time, Atalan has conducted the lockdown effect on the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic statistically (Atalan, 2020; Kang et al., 2020). Therefore, there is a high level of membership in the “stay at home” request by authorized organizations.

From the time of the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide, approximately 186 million people have been infected with this virus, and 4 million people have died due to this virus (Worldometer, 2021). Although the number of deaths and transmission cases of COVID-19 is decreasing day by day, and it is known that the speed of this outbreak has slowed down due to the COVID-19 vaccines developed by different countries, there is no clear information about when this pandemic will end.
