Mr. Evan Cullen:

All those airlines which have given indications on this have stated it will be the summer of 2023 or 2024 before we see the levels of traffic we saw in 2019. The recovery from 9/11, however, was much quicker than many people believe.

We thought at the time that the new security measures introduced after 9/11 were a bigger deterrent to travel than the actual fear factor that came from the tragic events of 9/11. I agree, as does the pilot community across Europe in its analysis, that the airlines are correct that it could be as late as 2024 before we see traffic levels similar to 2019.
