People also forget that aviation actually prospered during the Great Depression of the 1930s. New airlines created with considerable amount of capital being spent on new aircraft orders while most of the rest of the world's economies walked a slow death march.

Countries where tourism is a major contributor to their GDPs have been apparently asking the major tour operators of their largest markets what the consumer confidence is like. Vast majority report healthy amount of enquiries as people wish to go from the homes they've been locked down in as far as possible.

It definately won't be a light switch recovery, especially with no vaccine or active treatment available in the immediate short term, but there will be recovery all the same.
