In this issue
We explore the impact of COVID-19 on the aviation industry and how we can build back better.

Covid-19 has radically changed how we understand our world and our ability to move freely around it.
In 2019, over 11 million flights operated inside Europe, carrying over 2.4 billion passengers. So far in 2020, we have seen just over 4 million flights and as many as 1 billion fewer individual journeys. Tens of thousands of jobs have already been lost and an estimated six million more remain at risk; the overall loss to the aviation industry this year alone has been estimated at over €140 billion.
