IATA now predicts passenger revenues will fall $252bn, or 44%. The new forecast assumes that travel restrictions will last for three months, followed by a slow economic recovery.

IATA said airlines needed $200bn in liquidity support, “simply to make it through”.

“Some governments have already stepped forward, but many more need to follow suit,” said IATA’s director general, Alexandre de Juniac.
