Comment of Dr. Liu
It is a tremendous honor to receive the JTTRI Best Paper Award at the 28th ATRS World Conference. I am deeply grateful to the Japan Transport and Tourism Research Institute for their generous support of academic research in air transport. This award reaffirms the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in addressing critical challenges at the intersection of transportation, public health, and policy. I hope our findings contribute meaningfully to the global discourse on future pandemic-resilient transport systems.
