We have empty skies. We don't see the public clamouring to restart passenger air travel. I doubt for those outside the aviation sector that more than a few eould even have it on any list of things they are bothered about.

A few weeks ago we were worrying about ventilators and there were emergency hospitals being built. Now we worry about PPE.

Assuming that things settle nad we have a boundary to 'the first wave' then people sure as hell won't want a second.

Assuming no practical vaccine or no magic treatments then we have to live with it - which means controls.

Much as a 14 day quarantine might look unwelcome now - if the hit is taken and the UK along with other nations get control within their own jusrisdictions - then domestic travel will start to be viewed as safer and grow - and various nations that trust each others' controls will de-restrict international travel between them and make it a practical proposition.
