日本の観光収入、１４００億円減も　新型肺炎で１～３月―国際航空機関

　【ニューヨーク時事】国際民間航空機関（ＩＣＡＯ）は１３日、新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大に伴う航空便の運航停止が経済に与える影響の推計値を発表した。日本については、中国人観光客の減少で、今年１～３月期に１２億９０００万ドル（約１４００億円）の観光関連収入を失う可能性があると予測した。
　ＩＣＡＯは、欠航便の数や範囲の広さを踏まえ、肺炎を引き起こす新型ウイルスの影響は「２００３年に流行した重症急性呼吸器症候群（ＳＡＲＳ）を上回る」と予想。中国と海外を結ぶ航空交通量が当時より２倍、中国国内では５倍に増えていることも要因に挙げた。（2020/02/15-07:06）

Japan may lose 1.29 billion dollars in tourism revenue in January-March due to travel bans introduced to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, an international organization has said.
   The International Civil Aviation Organization also said the impacts of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak on the global economy "are expected to be greater" than those caused by the 2002-2003 SARS epidemic.
   China's international air traffic has doubled and domestic traffic fivefold since the time of the SARS epidemic, ICAO said Thursday, citing reasons for the bigger impacts.
   The number of passengers on international flights to and from China during the first quarter of 2020 is expected to decrease by 16.4 million to 19.6 million from the level initially projected by airlines, the organization said.
   This would result in a reduction of 4 billion to 5 billion dollars in gross operating revenues for airlines around the world, according to ICAO.
