Airlines do Not need to demonstrate they ceased operations, which in many cases they did as countries barred them from flying there. Force Majura is a long standing practice used by businesses and airlines. Northwest airlines used it during SARS and many have invoked it during 9/11 times. All you need to demonstrate are major economic impacts occurred outside of your control.
COVID-19’s classification as a “pandemic” by the WHO will trigger a force majeure clause that expressly accounts for “pandemics.” That said, the declaration of pandemic standing alone—without a reference to pandemics in a force majeure clause. Recent governmental regulations intended to contain the COVID-19 outbreak may similarly make it easier to invoke a force majeure clause not previously triggered by the virus. Ever-expanding governmental restrictions on travel, movement, and large gatherings have resulted in significant business interruptions and widespread event and travel cancellations, with a particularly salient impact on the event, tourism, restaurant, airline, venue rental, and sports and entertainment sectors.
