Ist das der richtige Thread für das Folgende?
Die FT geht davon aus, dass a) Social Distancing auf Flügen kommen muss/wird und das zu Leerquoten von 75% oder gar 80% führen wird. Und b) dass Fluglinie die Preise deswegen mehr als verdreifachen müssten als Kompensation. Und das wiederum Passagiere abschreckt.

These numbers are far below the 70-75 per cent load factor Iata, the industry’s trade body, reckons airlines need to break even. Slashing payroll bills — even with the thousands of job cuts being announced almost daily — will not begin to cover a shortfall that wide. Six European airlines, including Virgin Atlantic and Lufthansa, have under five months of liquidity left, according to according to analysts at Redburn.
In order to square on-board social distancing with profitability, airlines would need to jack up ticket prices threefold. Thus a London-Dublin hop, now advertised at €23.46 on Ryanair, would need to rise to a far from discount €70; a British Airways London-Hong Kong return currently advertised at £551 would need to tip £1,600. Of course, the more prices rise, the fewer the passengers.
