The recovery period could take two to three years.
Customers may be subject to pre-flight health checks (temperature checks, health certificates) that may differ from country to country could be time-consuming and complicate flying schedules.
The wearing of masks might reassure passengers, but keeping middle seats empty would be challenging and reduce maximum seat capacity to below break-even levels.
Half of the airlines are bound to fail in two to three months without government help.
Some low-cost, short-hop routes are likely to disappear (Flights of less than 300 miles made up one fifth of the European market last year)
Big low-cost airlines will probably survive along with flag carriers, but many will be partially owned by governments, or at least owe them money.
Airlines may have to cut the most marginal routes and raise prices.
There will definitely be fewer flight options available
Unheard-of alliances might crop up among national airlines as smaller rivals wither.
There will be a shift from air to high speed rail travel in Europe
