THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON AIRPORTS

Airports are essential to the economic development of cities, countries, and regions. They directly contribute to economies by providing services to airlines, moving passengers, and transporting cargo. The movement of goods and people also benefits governments, consumers, and industries.

MANY EUROPEAN AIRPORTS MAY RUN OUT OF MONEY

Airports Council International (ACI) Europe has published its air traffic report for June 2020, Quarter 2 (Q2) and the First Half (H1) of 2020, as well as an interim update for July 2020. The report reveals the devastating impact of the COVID-19 on Europe’s airports, with passenger traffic decreasing by 64.2 per cent during the first half of 2020 and almost coming to complete standstill in the second quarter, with a drop of 96.4 per cent, compared to the same period in 2019.  

Europe’s airport rankings have been heavily disrupted

THE VOICE OF TRUMP’S OPPONENTS

“President Trump is a disgrace to our nation. His values and ethics are poor. His skills as a leader are poor. His orator skills are poor. His ability to unify and act as a leader for our nation is nonexistent. Trump supporters are becoming increasingly emboldened by this questionably unstable president.”

TRUMP WEAKENS U.S. COMMITMENT TO NATO

Trump has consistently complained that almost all European NATO countries have inadequate military budgets, and that he no longer wants the U.S. to play the world’s policeman. Europeans are increasingly aware that they can no longer rely on US military leadership to resolve conflicts in their neighborhood, such as the Balkans, the Middle East or Africa. They must themselves become capable of action.
