While the crisis of coronavirus advances and the crisis in aviation increases, In this installment we review the airlines that have closed and others that are in trouble. Photo Airbus.
According to IATA, we should wait at least 4 years to once again see the promising growth numbers during the 2019, so the airline crisis is still very far from over.
Despite the fact that several countries are releasing restrictions on commercial passenger flights and allowing this activity to resume, several airlines are closing or others have communicated that they are in trouble and will have to take serious measures to stay in the market when everything slowly returns, to normal.
In this context, We will review the list of airlines who have already said goodbye and others who have reported on their difficult situation, which could lead to a permanent closure, But apart from this, the crisis is widespread and the vast majority worldwide are in a very delicate situation..
Those that have closed

Those who are in trouble
In this case, The airlines mentioned here have revealed that they are in a complex situation, some even entering processes of restructuring under Chapter 11 from the United States, but with the aim of coming out stronger, but without a doubt there are many more, We could even say that they are the vast majority of airlines worldwide except for a few.:

In Mexico we know that Aeromexico and Interjet are in trouble…They don't appear on your list. Greetings and thanks for condensing the information in one place..
Thanks Mario, Do you have information about it publicly about both?
Some information if the country could resume with a low-cost flag airline in the future? Why 4 years ? Maybe some merger with a private company ?
I know that this topic is very delicate and complex but ,maybe in the future some start
Thanks
the future, anything can happen, there are some signs, let's hope it comes to fruition.
What a pity this information
It seems to me that AVIANCA Peru closed its operations before the pandemic, I'm not sure.
Latam Argentina stopped operating in Argentina, For its part, Flyest entered bankruptcy proceedings and Andes is close to bankruptcy..
On the other hand, In Peru, the local Avianca subsidiary permanently stopped flying
I incorporate it, Thank you.
Do you know when I can fly to ?? from Europe?
Thanks for when they will fly again .
Because they do not reactivate the trips if the due hygienic measures are maintained and there are lines that make repatriation flights to other countries and nothing has happened so what to wait they say that as long as a neighbor is not found we have to learn to live so she leaves to wait
When flights will be made to Mérida Yucatan from Houston TX
Good article Nicholas., However, remember that South African Airways, which in previous weeks was reported to have gone bankrupt, The government of that country has decided to inject liquidity to give it another chance, Therefore this airline is still operational and would suddenly go to that of the group in trouble. Kind regards.
Thanks Carlos, but it will be the same or with a new name as I read?
Buenas tardes, Do you know what happened to the Cargolux flights to Quito??
I haven't seen any for a few months now..
They are surely operating in other markets with greater demand, as inputs from China
It's true, browse flightradar24, and I saw some operating in regions like Italy and Asia in addition to achorage
Thanks for the information
I would think that the rest of the airlines must be carrying your cargo from Ecuador.
And, since there is a greater presence of airlines such as latam cargo, As you mention, they must be distributing the cargo between the airlines..
