VEM trodde inte man skulle flyga efter 911? Jag kan inte minnas en enda uppsägning i något flygbolag efter 911.
Googlade lite snabbt bara.
”After 9/11, domestic flights were grounded for three days, but the effects from fear and speculation lasted much longer and eventually led to a period of bankruptcies, bailouts, layoffs, mergers and acquisitions for the airline industry.”
”Directly following 2001, losses from operating costs of major carriers, also known as legacy network carriers, plummeted by an estimated $9.1 billion, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, while losses from 2001 until 2007 were estimated to total a whopping $40 billion. Profitability was not restored until 2007, and the sky-high oil prices in 2008, just before the Great Recession, only led to more trouble. ”
”These severe declines in profitability resulted in numerous bankruptcies; most significantly, those of US Airways in 2002 and 2004, United Airlines in 2002, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines and Comair in 2005, and American Airlines in 2011. Three major airlines, including America West, a major carrier at the time, filed for bankruptcy within 10 days of 9/11, as a direct result of declines in demand.”
