Transporte aéreo y pandemia de la COVID-19: ¿Hacia un cambio de trayectoria en la red aeroportuaria española?.

Abstract

La COVID-19 ha supuesto un profundo shock en la economía global y en particular en la industria de la aviación, al ser esta damnificada de medidas restrictivas para frenar la propagación del virus. En este trabajo además de presentar, como contexto, el impacto de la COVID-19 a escala global en el sector comercial de la aviación, se realiza un análisis de la conectividad aérea de los aeropuertos españoles para comprender los cambios acaecidos. Para el estudio, de carácter diacrónico (1970-2020), se emplea un coeficiente de conectividad topológica, cartografía y otras medidas (análisis de frecuencias y volumen de viajeros). La pandemia está suponiendo un punto de inflexión en la historia aeronáutica que obliga a una adaptación constante en España y en el resto del mundo, tanto en términos comerciales como en materia de seguridad sanitaria.
