* Figures are based on one of two potential scenarios calculated by the source. The Limited Spread Scenario is based on countries that have 100 or more confirmed COVID-19 cases.
Revenue figures do not add up to the global total because of route overlaps.
The estimation method assumes the market pattern for Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Italy, Germany, France, and Iran to follow China's market disruptions pattern between January and March 2020 . In addition to that, it integrates the impact pattern of 2003 SARS disease outbreak on aviation to calibrate transition effects more accurately.
