Almost a year after the pandemic began, traffic figures are still looking bleak. Only the belief in an imminent recovery gives the airports hope.
But Irish health director Tony Holohan is now putting a stop to this. He doesn't believe in a “normal” summer, reports die Independent. “I don't think Europe is heading towards the conventional summer months. On the contrary, millions of people will have to do without a beach holiday this year as well. Unless the beach is inland, ”continued Holohan. In doing so, he contradicts almost every travel expert. Because of the vaccination campaigns that have been started, they expect an increase in demand from the middle of the year. So does Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary. This goes a step further and attacks the Irish experts on public television. They would spread false information and thus only create fear and uncertainty among people. A risky summer would be in store for us anyway, according to the specialist portal Reuters. Because the troubled airlines have no more time to lose, they have to present the customers with a summer flight plan, although it is still more than questionable whether all travel destinations can actually be flown to. So it is like a game of chance
