Jtan, there are a number of points I have to counter. People may want to travel, but you are supposing in the new green eco world that they will be allowed to travel, or if surcharged will be able to afford to travel. There are all manner of major impostions being forced on people and travel, from cars to planes, is very much in the fanatics cross hairs. The idea that the biggest players will survive is not borne out in history. There are plenty that became just too big. The bigger you are, the more cash flow you need to remain solvent. With the loss of the summer cash flow there are warnings on cash flow on every aspect of the travel and holiday industry. There is a potential for a complete collapse requiring very significant government intervention all over the world. You can see the headlines now if the government has to step in to keep carbon airlines in business just as the hysteric fanatical campaigns are in full pelt during COP26. Even now, the COP meeting is cited frequently as a reason to stop this or that fossil fuel related project. As you note, and I have pointed out before, the policy turns such as Portugal have spooked the travellers and that was by design imo to knowingly sabotage travel by a lockdown lobby. But I have been moving more to think that there is a significant part of this sabotage that may be assigned to the shift against air travel as part of the climate change lobby and the 'big reset' campaign. We do not have any cross examination within media and most people now are noticing the excessive media coverage and how reports are being overplayed and they are being sold to and corralled into specific mindsets. In hypnosis, it is understood you can not make somebody do something they do not want to do and there is only ever about 20% of any population susceptible enough to be fully influenced at any one time. There may yet be a major backlash against the climate change hysteria but it requires leaders to be very bold. So far, any leader that has even hinted that they challenge the claims is ripped apart locally and internationally. Trump wanted to set up a commission to verify the claims, that's all. He was crushed. Currently there is nobody standing up to it. Above all else that single issue of climate change is the medium and long term issue. If it is not dealt with, there will be little airline industry left to invest in. They all may have to be state controlled flag carriers like the 60s and 70s.
