There will be an uptick, yes. But most of these meetings are ‘localised’ from experience where I’ve seen anything transition to video conferencing. I.e. if you have multiple parties across London and Birmingham, why bother travelling when we can do it virtually?

But where there’s other jurisdictions involved, air travel will still be buoyant and I expect that for the UK>Europe air travel for business will pick up as soon as is practically possible.
