Taiwan as of right now has 31 active Covid cases. In a population similar to Australia’s. So the risk of contracting Covid on a flight in Taiwan is low.
The risk in Australia is proportionally much higher.

Can’t imagine the demand would be high in this environment of rising unemployment and wealth destruction. People are struggling to hang on to their homes. A flight to nowhere wouldn’t have a lot of appeal to the majority.
With distancing it would be difficult for an airline to make money on those flights.

If I feel the need to scratch that itch, I ll reheat yesterday’s Uber eats, sit next to the running vacuum cleaner and enjoy. For that extra authenticity, I just need to glance up from my personal screen occasionally as there is no shortage of surly people going past me, trying very hard not to catch my attention.
