Aviation industry in the turbulent weather conditions zone

The "Flight Home" campaign continues. Since its launch on 15 March, nearly 42,000 people have returned to their homes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs. The connections included flights from the Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Thailand, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, the Philippines, South Africa and Tanzania and many European countries.
In order to limit the pandemic impact, the Sejm [lower chamber of the Polish parliament] adopted a rescue package - the so-called the anti-crisis shield. The shield includes jobs protection and the financial and health security measured for citizens and companies. In the coming months we will also see if this scheme may support the aviation industry.
