The COVID-19 outbreak that started in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019 affected the whole world. With the spread of the epidemic, economic activities related to global trade declined and air transport operations declined. Countries use the airline to protect against the contagious effect of COVID-19 in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Airline companies stopped most of their flight activities by first restricting transportation and then closing their borders.

In this study, one of the measures taken in the aviation sector within the scope of COVID-19 was mentioned and the economic impact of the epidemic on the sector was examined. In addition, assessments of the current situation of Turkey's aviation sector has been based on the indicators.
