I would have thought in less than 2 months preparations for the 3rd month will be in place for an accelerated return to get business rolling again. The Governments costs must be frightening to them as each day passes, they know this can't continue a measured return for various business of course but transport is a huge driver in this bounce back.
There are some bizarre thinking cuts going on surely, this is only temporary and will require plenty of staff and take up from residual recovery speeds.
The slots will be eaten up by those that want them and those that will be out of the blocks first will capitalize.
Keeping passengers on side is key also.
BA and others will be in waiting to take the slots from others that may fall by the wayside.
Return preparations should be going on now.
Boris didn't want the second runway so if there is less take up, he and others will be happy.
Survival of the fittest in more ways than one.

Nothing will start regular flying until a vaccine is widely distributed. Minimum of 2 years. If we are lucky.
In this 2 year period Airbus and Boeing currently plan to deliver 2000 + aircraft.
This is not a 9/11 type event. No one will want a new aircraft for several years. No one will be able to afford a new aircraft.

What exercises my concern is the thought of travelling through an airport and availing myself of the surrounding transport infrastructure only weeks, or months after a major pandemic.
Our next holiday abroad will be next year - I want proof that this is sorted before I sit next to another pax pr queue through Security.

The reality is, as we starting to see in Italy and Spain, the population cannot be quarantined or isolated for 2 years. Life will have to get back to normal before that or we will see a complete breakdown of society.
I'm betting on a staged release of the restrictions over the next 6-9 months.
