Not looking good for airlines So many airlines laying off employees and this is just the beginning. Summer isnt over and airlines are already cutting back from already reduced fleet size and flight frequency. By luck bombardier is out of commercial aircraft business. Belfast is holding fairly well so far and with UK providing support after they are out of EU they will be alright. But if Spirit buys them as advertised then that is very good too. Although based on some recent reading Spirit doesn't have enough money to buy it. Airlines laying off and reducing size could see increase in bizz jet travel. https://www.flightglobal.com
