Could you expand a bit on what you mean by 'most heavily impacted sectors'? Do you think IAG, Ryanair, Easyjet, Ferrovial and MAG will all get together in the same room with Sunak and Shapps and ask for the same thing? And when you say 'see them through the crisis' do you envisage life after 2023 being somewhat similar to life before? My impression is that IATA are predicting business travel may not the same again for a long time and the market will have to adapt structurally to a change in the shape of demand.
