Conclusion really points to airlines that handled large amount of holiday traffic will suffer the most.
Air traffic between locations serving family and business connections will be better placed. Of the loco still about, their survival is logically pointed to FR, Ezy and Jet 2 in that order.
Already travel insurers will not cover anyone for pandemic/virus or any other nasty that might cause them to pay out and renewal premiums are rocketing..Their next trick will be the question `Have you ever received a 12 week self isolate letter from the NHS?` if the answer is yes they will decline cover or the cost will be more than the holiday. Yes people will be desperate to get away, but for many, who would otherwise have done, it will be a struggle for survival. Not all jobs can be sustained, going forward. For those poor souls a holiday will be a dream not an aspiration.
Sadly just being realistic but trust me I would be delighted to be proved wrong..Fingers crossed I am..
