Thailand has become the latest in a long list of countries closing its borders for international travel.

Airports all over the world have turned to graveyards, as airlines globally have been forced to ground the majority - if not all - of their fleets, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The British government has said that airlines and airports will not receive an industry-wide bailout despite early hints at financial support.

The UAE has enacted its travel ban 24 hours early with no flights allowed to leave the country effective immediately. Australia has also upped it measures banning all international travel for its citizens.

The United Arab Emirates has announced it will suspend all passenger flights, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi airport transit, from 25 March.

New analysis shows more than a third of the world's airline activity has been drastically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the start of the crisis, more than 37 million seats have been cut as travel restrictions prevent airlines from operating at full capacity.
