Crisis till vaccine!

Whilst nobody knows for sure, it appears that this virus has still got a long way to go and my prediction is that the airline industry as a whole will go through turmoil never experienced or forecasted and so that got me thinking - when will it end....

The answer appears to be when a vaccine that is approved and produced and distributed to the worlds population. And it’s not coming in 2020!!

It would be really interesting to hear airport and airline views on what planning they are doing and what timelines they are working to for business planning purposes.

Lufthansa appear to be quite bold and proactive in culling capacity and even parking up fleets (A380)

Is it time for a global round table of airlines / airports to rapidly agree a consolidated approach to survive?

The travelling public and world at large are spooked and I don’t think they will be queuing up any time soon for airlines and cruise ships no matter how much discount you offer!

Are any other airline management on here willing to offer a view?

Clear Air Turbulence seems to be ahead for a long time!
