AAV predicts the aviation business will return to normal within 3 months on condition that more borders in the region reopen with no quarantine and RT-PCR test required.
Comment: Define “normal” though yes I am of the viewpoint that we are going to see a strong rebound in travel IF/WHEN pcr tests/quarantines are taken out. I suspect that the US will stop PCR requirements/tests at year end (according to the CDC) and this should then reverberate throughout the globe.

regarding AAV or other airline/hotel biz/tourism related stocks: when i follow the latest covid-19 case developments in some european countries for example, it does look very doubtful to me that these businesses will be reverting to anything resembling the ‘old pre covid-19 normal’ in these businesses soon…
Pon
Doesn’t have to be at 100%, competition is down -20-30% in the hotel industry – airlines diff story, we have ground handling companies that will be back to full handling revenue within 6 months as the # of planes of their clients in the sky will be back to pre-covid levels.

I am rather skeptical regarding the number of planes coming back to pre-covid levels soon.
