2019 might have been a good year for aviation with very high passenger numbers but that it is some kind of normal is far fetched and that we will ever get back to those levels is possibly just a pipe dream from airlines that have invested to much in a capacity level that might never again be needed. Or rather many of those specific airplanes might not be needed before development have surpassed them due to constantly stricter environmental regulations. Some airlines might need to replace some of their chiefs that keep tooting about when we will get back to 2019 instead of looking forward with a bit more cynicism. BA have already done that. The year of 2019 have come and gone and will never come back.
