Many US states are now seeing daily new cases drop to the hundreds; only 4 states today reported deaths >100

Total cases today ~ 50,000
A huge drop from over 300,000 last month

Total deaths today 1,100
Again a massive drop from over 4,000 last month

These figures could halve again in 14 days
1.5 Million vaccines are being administered daily

Agreed, there will be a rush for July , August etc bookings . Massive pent up demand and the airlines will implement a vaccine passport certificate with the approval of CAA and IATA .

EU are way behind the curve with this and will be caught with their pants down once holiday bookings begin.

Yeh no doubt they will recover. Pent up demand is enormous and the majority of the country is sick to death of the ott lockdowns (no matter what the polls say).With the EU in a pickle and cutting off the world, I fear Boris will offer Jam tomorrow. Again. No reason why peeps should not be able to travel. Noe. Not Summer. Assuming there's somewhere on Earth tnat wants our holiday ££££.

Travel restrictions imposed in response to Covid-19 have had a devastating effect on the airline industry. Indeed, British Airways owner IAG reported an 88pc decline in passenger traffic in its recent third-quarter update. This contributed to a £1.1bn operating loss versus a £1.2bn operating profit in the same period of the previous year.The company is likely to reveal further financial pain when it releases its full-year results on Friday. Ongoing lockdown measures in the UK, as well as across Europe, equate to low passenger numbers and weak financial performance.Despite this, Questor believes the prospect of a post-coronavirus economic recovery provides a turnaround opportunity for the carrier. Successful vaccine rollouts have contributed to growing optimism regarding the UK's economic outlook.It is now forecast to deliver GDP growth of 5.9pc this year and 3.2pc next year, according to the IMF. Even in Europe, where the vaccine rollout has been much slower than in the UK, the IMF predicts that GDP growth will be 4.7pc in 2021 and 3.1pc in 2022The company's performance could be further catalysed by the release of pent-up consumer demand that is likely to have grown in size during the pandemic.For example, the UK household saving ratio measures the proportion of an average household's disposable income that is deposited into savings accounts each quarter. It stood at under 10pc in the first quarter of 2020. However, as lockdown measures came into force it increased to an all-time high of 27pc in the second quarter of 2020.This suggests that consumers may be holding back on spending during the current lockdown. It could be unleashed as containment measures abate. This was the case in the third quarter of 2020, when a lifting of some lockdown measures led to a surge in consumer spending.At least some of this extra cash could be spent on air travel as lockdown measures are gradually lifted. The novelty of holidaying abroad may prove irresistible to many after what has been a very challenging period.Of course, there is great uncertainty as to when travel restrictions will be lifted. In the meantime, IAG is not providing earnings guidance. It believes that global passenger numbers will not return to their 2019 levels until at least 2023.However, seeking to judge the path that Covid-19 lockdown measures will take is fraught with difficulty. More relevant to investors is the action taken by the firm to improve its financial position in the meantime. It suggests that IAG has the means to overcome more coronavirus-related uncertainty.Since the start of the pandemic, it has slashed operating costs to reduce cash burn, cancelled dividend payments and scaled back capital expenditure plans. It also conducted a rights issue in October 2020 that raised £2.4bn. This will have boosted a cash position that stood at £4.4bn at the end of the third quarter. When borrowing facilities are included, the company had total liquidity of £8.2bn at the end of October 2020.IAG key factsMarket value: £8bnTurnover (2019): £22.4bnPre-tax profits (2019): £2.6bnYield: (2019): 7.9pcMost recent year's dividend: 12.7pNet debt (2019): £6.6bnReturn on capital (2019): 10.6pcCash conversion ratio (2019): 168pcAdjusted p/e ratio (2019): 1.6

"Coronavirus infection rates have plummeted by more than two thirds since January, new figures show in proof that lockdown is working even against the fast-spreading Kent variant of the virus.

The country's largest surveillance testing study yesterday found just one in 196 people in England were infected with the virus during the first half of February, down from one in 64 the last time around, in January.

Results from the REACT study, led by Imperial College London and commissioned by the Government, revealed 0.51 per cent of the population had the virus between February 4 and February 13, down from 1.57 per cent."

Mad George wrong, virus denier and fake accountant. As it happens the mrs spent 20 years flying round the world as a cabin manager now works at an airport. I myself have been a long term investor in the sector on and off since the early 80`s. I have also travelled many times to all the continents and have been a regular user of IAG/Quantas/ Virgin/ Lufty/ KLM/ Sky blue fir internals in the USA and the old Virgin blue for Aussie internals. Many times on Easyjet/Ryanair/and Wizz.
These are facts, something you would not understand.
