As mentioned previously,without medical travel insurance,no one in their right mind will fly to the USA, highest medical costs in the world, and highest Covid Death rate to date!
So unless the Insurance companies come up with a reasonably priced Insurance policy covering Covid, I dont see too many people going overseas anywere!

You might have to take a pill (if vaccine not sorted, but vaccine now only looks few months away) like if going to a malaria ridden country.
The yanks will sort it out, they, like all other countries, will have to.
Welfare can only go so far. After start of Sep, most welfare for Corona will end in OZ.
Pent up demand is huge, lots of pressure on govts to reopen everything, including borders fast.
Think of all those with credit vouchers which have to be used.
If you don't think it will happen fast, you better get to your local gun shop to get legal guns/ammo or your local bikie gang to get it faster.
Crime is already on increase.
Do you know if they’ve been cancelling those flights or are they actually going?
Answered my own question,

Now is that pax or cargo?

Sounds like you listen to what is said in the media too much ...
& in pollie speak that could meany anything.
Surprise surprise, it may be a lot sooner, once many have booked domestic holidays.
I'll say 1AUG for 1st long haul international, past NZ & 1SEP for more normal long haul, whatever the new normal is.

I would agree though, that Morrison is looking for any excuse to get back to "normal" as he was dragged by the states to tightening up as early as we did.
As an aside I do not trust the CMO or the DCMO, imo they're both caught up in the politics, instead of just giving the medical advice it appears to me they're now part of the political process and are one and the same as Morrision.
UA just confirmed closure of their LAX long haul base. Sparking rumours that their remaining long haul flights including SYD-LAX won't be returning post Corona.
UA had already reduced SYD-LAX to a seasonal service prior to COVID-19 restrictions.

lolololololol. How about some logic on this? Where is the virus doing the most damage, where are the deaths the highest and where is the DEAR LEADER doing jack sh!te about it? Oh, the US you say. Correct. I seriously doubt there will be flights to the US anytime soon, it would be political suicide for the Fed Gov to open our borders to anyone coming from there as you only need to listen to everyday people and anything Trump is on the nose. The place is out of control.

A tiered reopening is stupid - the second wave will take hold - then tighten restrictions, then loosen, then tighten for a indefinite time. Just suck it up, lock the country down eradicate the virus. Rip the band aid off then get back to work 100%.

There currently are pax flights. Care to explain why you're so wide of the mark? Especially given all it took was a quick search.
There’ll be flights from Australia or NZ to China before the US.
Just as Australia still has some international flights for repatriation etc, they / we do not have normal international pax flts per se.
Who is getting on board that flight? No one, unless a citizen or resident returning (inbound) or someone on CRITICAL travel (outbound). See here: https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/leaving-australia
You cannot leave the country as a citizen or resident, simple, the borders are closed. That flight may be regular or scheduled, but unless you meet set criteria you are not traveling on it and you won't be if it's for a holiday. No time soon for any flight overseas (except as has been mentioned in the media) for NORMAL travel i.e. holiday etc.

I see on radar24 that Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean and Japanese airlines still fly many routes daily to/from the USA. I guess there are quite a few (dual) citizens and green card holders around still to fly on those as that is the only category allowed entry these days for the most part. I don't know how full/empty those flights are though.

And THAT is the million $$ question - when will things get back to airlines operating flights with real passengers paying real money to go on real journeys for VFR/business/holidays whatever?
Subsidised flights, or flights just run for the sake of just running them is simply pissing in the wind if your alluding to commercial airlines operating commercially viable flights.
Cheers

Excxfo,
My point being that a previous poster said only repatriation flights were going to the USA. Then another poster said the flights were empty anyway.
Well tonight SFO-SYD has 105 pax. Not great but not insignificant either. They also have a full belly of cargo. The flight will most likely break even.
