A subsidy may not be a direct capital infusion or payment but it by the very nature of the government loan guarantee confers a benefit. The same for most of the airlines involved in IFAM.

JAL is the only other airline NOT government owned or backed. United has the benefit at the moment of massive US government loan facilities. All the others are at least majority owned or completely owned by governments. Draw your own conclusions. It’s not hard. Our government has sold us out to the lowest bidder and any flying at the moment would be welcome. COVID-19 has only highlighted the market distortions that have prevailed for years.

The WTO protects primary producers against market distortions and subsidies yet is silent on transportation. Happy to be corrected.

Some interesting reading. Now watch the those with a vested interest refute the facts.
