Gloomy EU outlook for air travel
By EUobserver
Air-travel volumes are unlikely to return to normal for a long time due to the pandemic, the European Commission said Monday, after extending a waiver to let airlines hold on to flight slots at airports even if they did not use them to stabilise the industry. "Air-traffic levels remain low, and more importantly, they are not likely to recover in the near future," EU transport commissioner Adina Valean said.
