Airlines for America, the main lobby for U.S. airlines, does not expect air travel to return to pre-pandemic levels until 2024 and is hoping for a second round of government aid to help the industry, CEO Nicholas Calio said yesterday, Reuters reported. “We’ve probably concluded that no one will be fully confident until” there is a treatment or vaccine for COVID-19, which has put the airline industry in a “dire situation,” Calio told a virtual media briefing.
