When I look at total global airline traffic on FlightAware, I estimate it is already down two thirds from normal levels.

Just one anecdotal story, my brother used to fly all over the world for his job. China, Thailand, Sweden, Italy, Japan, and then on vacations.

He doesn’t fly at all anymore. Working from home along with everyone else in his company.

It's even lower than that, many of those flights are cargo only, even on passenger aircraft, and the ones with passengers are not full.

Some major global airports are down to 2% of usual passenger traffic, others like Dubai are completely shutdown.

It may be down more than that. There are just a few hundred each of B738 and the A320 flying right now. Before the crisis, there were close to 2K each at this time of day. That is worldwide numbers.
