Covid-19: Impact on International Travel
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (Dún Laoghaire, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
On consumer confidence and some months forward when, hopefully, travel is resumed at close to normal levels, what do the witnesses think is a realistic timeframe for the recovery of the business, once travel is opened up to a reasonable degree? When one thinks back to the post-9/11 period, the recovery was slow. Covid-19 has had a much greater impact on the aviation industry and airlines. Confidence after 9/11 came dripping slow. Where do the witnesses see the role of the airlines and their workers in building personal confidence in bringing families back on to aeroplanes and so forth? How do they see the industry getting back to normal levels?
