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

It is important to note that several of the airlines mentioned here, They had financial problems prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, But this situation worsened their situation and some of them could operate again after receiving government support or being born under new names.:

  • ONE Airlines
  • LEVEL Europa
  • Air Mauritius
  • BRA Braathens Regional
  • Flybe
  • Miami Air
  • Trans States Airlines

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.:

  • South African Airways
  • Virgin Australia

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. Buenas tardes, Do you know what happened to the Cargolux flights to Quito??
    I haven't seen any for a few months now..

      1. It's true, browse flightradar24, and I saw some operating in regions like Italy and Asia in addition to achorage
        Thanks for the information

          1. 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..
