This year will be the first in the history of Thai tourism that the high and low seasons are rendered indistinct as fear of coronavirus infection keeps people at home.
The skies are expected to remain clear for the near term, even with the high season less than two months away.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand reported that over 249,000 flights, both domestic and international, were cancelled during the summer schedule.
Domestic travel -- the remaining hope for aviation -- might gradually revive from a rock bottom in April of 2,000 flights, having jumped to 13,900 flights in June.
Sky traffic is still far below levels in January, when 47,200 domestic flights took to the air.
Most airlines have had to shrink fleet size by almost 50% and reduce workforce to streamline fixed costs, while waiting for the green light to fly international routes that typically make higher profits for airlines.
The unprecedented crisis has forced the first giant, Thai Airways International (THAI), to falter, followed by its affiliate Nok Air, which is going to enter business rehabilitation.
