Assessment and analysis of the prospects for the development of the transport system in the post-pandemic period on the example of the "Pulkovo" airport operator
The emergence and spread of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus infection (COVID-19) provoked a sharp decline in household income and consumer demand, which together became a major problem for modern transport systems. This study analyzes the financial and economic activities of one of the largest objects of the transport system in the northwestern region of Russia in the periods before and after the lockdown, and also formulates the author's forecast for the restoration and development of the object in question in the long term until 2060. In addition to the obvious consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, such as an increase in risks to human health or changes in the quality requirements (safety criteria) of customer service, there are a number of negative economic (financial) and social results, ranging from a decrease in population mobility to the threat of impossibility. transport has its fundamental function of transporting passengers and goods. A well-prepared forecast of a progressive recovery from the crisis and the development of a transport company in the post-pandemic period will allow supervising government agencies to determine the vector of policy movement within the transport area and possible government measures to support transport facilities, if necessary.
