Airlines, Airports, Travel and Lockdowns: The Future

 



The last 18 months + have been very difficult for the travel industry. How many companies are walking a tightrope? Will they recover, will they be allowed to get back to some form of profitability?

The many expensive PCR tests and form filling is not exactly encouraging people to travel... at the moment. 

A relative was a senior stewardess/flight attendant, she worked with the union Unite.

An experienced captain is pleased he has a new job. A delivery driver. That is how harsh things have become. In due course I expect the captain to be back where he belongs, flying airliners. With the end of furlough at the end of September, things may seem even worse. 

Another lockdown and the country will be in a place to awful to contemplate. 

There must be quite a bit of pent up demand. Hopefully this may get things back to a situation a little rosier. It depends on the actions the government takes. Don't hold your breath.
