'When it is safe to do so, we will see whether you can move to a shorter distance... we keep all of these things under review' Business Secretary Alok Sharma asked by BBCVickiYoung if two-metre rule will be reduced to help businesses Latest:
The International Air Transport Association says it now expects global airline revenues this year to be $419bn lower than in 2019.
The projected fall is more than $100bn greater than previously forecast, and is expected to lead to a net loss for the industry of $84bn. IATA says that, financially, 2019 will go down as the worst year in the history of aviation, thanks to the lockdowns and closures of international borders which forced airlines to ground entire fleets. At its lowest point in April, global air traffic was 95% down on last year’s levels. Although traffic is slowly recovering, IATA says airlines are burning through cash and state support remains crucial.
