Air France must slash domestic flights and agree to work towards becoming the world’s “most environmentally friendly” airline, if it is to satisfy the conditions of its government bailout of €4 billion ($4.4 billion) to Air France-KLM and Air France, in addition to a direct shareholder’s loan of €3 billion to the Franco-Dutch airline group. The French government is also calling on Air France to renew its fleet with more efficient aircraft.

KLM is also in line to receive €2-4 billion in financial support from the Dutch government, but the country’s finance ministry has said the airline must contribute environmentally, by reducing the number of night flights, as part of the deal.

I think all 12,000 will be worried 962.........
It's appalling behaviour by Walsh.

I don't see any of the BoD offering to cut their pay to 0% for the good of the airline.
Maybe they should take an example from the BoD of United Airlines.

[962962] 30/4/2020 10:14

Bet a few militants from 6 months ago are worried

Looks like about 1000 pilot jobs to go at BA.
Just offering statutory redundancy payments.

I fly a lot, but if 4 hours to get on a plane no thanks.Anyway know one in their right mind surely will board a plane until a vaccine.

Bookbroker best to avoid Monty Hedge better total waste of time zero input.

Please do your own research as always.

One of the well known problems with flying in a closed metal tube is that only circa 50% of the air circulated in the cabin is fresh, so essentially passengers are breathing in a lot of air expelled by themselves and others.

Flying will be a pain.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8271625/It-four-hours-board-plane-coronavirus-lockdown-eases.html

Monty, all goes away with antibody or viral
Load testing on check in.

This is a hurdle that will be overcome in an industry that is highly innovative. A solution will be found with work between medical professionals, industry and government. There will need to be international agreement to standards but this is nothing new, it’s just a new form of security.

[montyhedge] 30/4/2020 07:23

The Times, 4 hour wait to get on a plane, flying not the same. Who in their right mind going to get on a plane until a vaccine anyway.

They can provide a commercial loan at commercial rates , as they have done with EZJ

IMO the only circumstance that the UK government should assist is for a discounted stake in the businesses they are to assist. I don't think that's what you guys want.

The increased use of video conferencing could have an impact on air travel. From a business perspective, it is cheaper and greener to take international meetings using Zoom than it is to fly people to another country and put them up in hotels. We have had no choice to do this under lockdown, and so have proven it works.

Lastly and most worryingly, we don’t know the state of the economy after lockdown. As well as a number of big industries like airlines, many small businesses are likely to go bankrupt. There is talk of a potential recession, but even without this, many people will have less money to spend. Holidays that require flying are usually the first thing to get cut when a family has no money.

Delta has borrowed $3.5bn through the bond market with a five-year deal secured against the company’s assets, including its aircraft routes and the slots it hold at airports such as Heathrow in London or John F Kennedy in New York.

The company has drawn down on a $3bn lending facility with a group of banks and expects to receive some $5.4bn to support its payroll from the US government’s giant stimulus package. Delta also plans to apply this week for $4.6bn from a second tranche of secured loans from the government.
