Not a chance
European short haul airlines are already back at 50% capacity by the first week of July, 3.5 months after the pandemic first hit in Europe and a few weeks after travel restrictions started being lifted.
Chinese domestic airlines are at about 80% capacity now compared to 6 months ago when the pandemic started and about two months after travel restrictions were lifted.
Japan’s domestic carriers are back at 66% capacity by end of the month, 80% in August and JAL expects to be at 100% in October.
These spikes will delay travel recovery in the domestic market by a matter of weeks not til the end of next year.
Of course that’s short haul only, solely long haul widebody carriers aren’t faring as well, EK is at 17% and SQ 5%
