Transformation of Human Capital of Air Transport in the Post-COVID-19 Era

Abstract

Air transport traditionally plays a critical role in the maintenance of converting human potential benefits into significant social and economic effects. However, the COVID-19 crisis influences air transport reduction, causing losses of jobs and human capital capacities. Thereby, the main problems that need to be solved are air transport human capital management and financial support, providing background for its transformation in the post-COVID-19 era. Both theoretical and applied approaches to human capital and its role for air transport development are defined. The chapter is based on indicators and financial determinants of human capital development. The current research purpose is to consider the availability and potential for human capital of air transport transformation, considering the example of Ukrainian economy in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Thus, this chapter provides a possible direction for further studying the post-COVID-19 impact on the transformation of human capital on air transport.
