The UK’s Cranfield University after significant research has found that the Covid19 pandemic will lead to a smaller, more consolidated air transport industry in the future. Senior lecturer Pere Suau-Sanchez says “We focused among other things, on identifying aspects that can structurally redefine aviation, around supply and demand” . The study involved interviews with 16 senior aviation executives. They identified regional airlines as possible short-term winners during the recovery period as they could potentially help full-service carriers adjust feed capacity.
