There is not a single viable commercial passenger airport in UK at the moment. It is just the scale of the viability that is the issue.

If as I expect that 2021 is another bad year then many airports may need to be taken into state ownership.

Maybe call it British Airports Authority or something like that

Medium term issue is paying the employees and ability to pay down debt.................... neither of which is likely in the medium term.
