I’m not so sure. Other airlines have publicly confirmed that demand is more or less non-existent. That started before various governments started imposing travel restrictions. You might be right, bit I don’t think people will be “flocking” back in June/July, I think it will be much more gradual a return. What would happen if schools closed for Term3, for example? Would they remain closed in July/August or return early, possibly with the expectation of a closure next year in flu-season?
