European airlines: brace for more turbulence What’s next after demand shock, bailouts? Government support has helped large European network carriers avert a liquidity crisis, with air traffic to fall at least 50% in 2020.

The liquidity buffers most airlines [email protected] had in place were insufficient to cope with a crisis of the magnitude brought on by the pandemic which led to the grounding of almost all aircraft in April and May.

Business travel is recovering only [email protected] slowly. Air freight is one sector that has done comparably well, but with gradually rising passenger traffic comes increased freight capacity on passenger aircraft.

    THE CIRIUM AIRLINE INSIGHTS REVIEW 2020 Including The On-Time Performance Review 2020 2020 IN SUMMARY Airlines worldwide struggled to match their schedules with travel demand, performing surgery as close as four weeks before travel. Many large widebodies were retired sooner than anticipated—while the 737 Max finally returned to the skies at year-end. Cargo was a bright spot—earning airlines precious revenue—with many airlines converting passenger aircraft to carry cargo. Airlines and their airport partners had better on-time performance than ever before, but not for reasons they anticipated. Confident travelers flew domestically, adjusting to new travel measures. Many travelers received travel credits and vouchers, and business travelers stopped flying. The question on everyone’s mind: how quickly will the industry recover? And what will it look like when it does?

D. J. van der Zee January 25, 2021 University of Groningen, Faculty of Economics and Business 1 Acknowledgements Hereby I would like to sincerely thank my supervisor, Dr. Nick B. Szirbik, and the co- assessor, Dr D. J. van der Zee, for their willingness to help and guidance throughout this project. I would like to express my gratitude to my the interviewees who participated in this project and made possible the realisation of this contribution. A special thank goes to my friends and people from the University of Groningen. The stimulating and enriching environment pushed me to perform better and assisted me during my Master studies in a global pandemic. Last but not least, I would like to express special gratitude to my parents and friends who were always there, supporting me throughout writing this thesis and my studies. 2 Abstract At the moment of finishing this study (January 2021) the picture of the airline indus- try is bleak. Airlines have grounded most of their planes since passengers were unable or unwilling to fly. The air cargo market has shrunk to some degree and thus there is a mismatch between air cargo supply and demand (demand is bigger). Currently, most of the air cargo is carried -in most cases- by empty passenger planes. The adaptation to this new market reality has been quick, but more measures must be taken fast. A forgotten imperative is to learn how these novel solutions can be implemented in a future similar event with starvation in passengers flow.
