Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis could wipe out the airline industry's nascent recovery, experts say

The place of transmission will also determine how travel is impacted, especially if the president contracted the virus aboard Air Force One. Thursday marked a glimmer of hope for the travel industry: The fifth busiest day for air travel in the US since March 21 set a positive tone for October, as struggling airlines gird themselves for a difficult holiday season.

But adding the president to the list of those infected could end up limiting Americans' ability to travel. Uncertainty surrounding quarantine rules and lockdowns remains the largest determining factor when making travel plans. Even with Thanksgiving less than two months away, travelers may be hesitant to invest money in non-refundable tickets when their destination could become embroiled in an outbreak, Harteveldt said.

Business travelers would likely be among the most impacted by Friday's revelation, as they are bound by their employer's travel rules. Business travel has been largely grounded since March, as companies don't want to take the risk of exposing their employees to the virus. "If it is determined that the virus was spread on Air Force One, that may cause some people who are undecided or tentative about taking a trip to avoid traveling because they will say: Well, if the virus can spread on Air Force One, it still has a risk of spreading on a commercial plane," Harteveldt said.
