Understand your thinking BUT false assumption is that once this is over then everything takes off and reverts to normal like 2019.
There will be a new normal, it will not be like 2019. The drop in people taking flights is likely to be quite considerable for the rest of this year and likely into next year, it is about confidence and that will take a while to recover. Therefore airports will not be turning their noses up at airlines because some of the airlines today may not be around.
We saw a new normal 10-12 years ago in the worldwide crash as people did not have money to fly, this time they may have money but are just scared to fly. The pressure will be on Airbus / Boeing to improve their air filtering system on planes as people will demand it.
