If social distancing measures are enforced on aircrafts amid the coronavirus pandemic, airfares could rise more than 50% compared to last year's prices, an industry trade group warned.
"Evidence suggests that the risk of transmission on board aircraft is low, and we will take measures -- such as the wearing of face coverings by passengers and masks by crew -- to add extra layers of protection," Alexandre de Juniac, the IATA’s CEO said in a statement."We must arrive at a solution that gives passengers the confidence to fly and keeps the cost of flying affordable. One without the other will have no lasting benefit.
"We need a vaccine, an immunity passport or an effective COVID-19 test that can be administered at scale. Work on all of these is promising, but none will be realized before we will need to restart the industry," de Juniac said."That’s why we must be ready with a series of proven measures, the combination of which will reduce the already low risk of in-flight transmission.
After adding rows of seats to planes for pure greed, and getting billions in stimulus money, they STILL want to squeeze you. freeloaderAirlines
All we wanted was a bit more legroom, but meh...we'll take it.
*Alternative headline* 90s babies who are already broke, jobless, and in debt can no longer travel
This will kill the industry.
And no one will fly, i sure as hell won't!
The price hike alone will cut business.
If this is what it took to make the seating more comfortable
Good. More airlines will die, like they deserve to.
Well of course this will happen otherwise they will go Bankrupt
More leg room though.
No more copilots either... It’s just one and done
Ok. Most of us will be unaffected.
50% of zero is zero
