Troubled Times: Aviation in Crisis
No industry has been hit harder by the corona crisis than the aviation industry. How long can airlines survive under these conditions?

There is no end to the corona restrictions in sight, and experts believe that it will take many years for airlines to fully recover. What future strategies and approaches can keep the industry alive?
