The World of Aviation

Airbus is examining how it can assist with the production of ventilators for the UK’s National Health Service, as the country braces itself to hit the peak of its coronavirus outbreak. 

The Singaporean government announced late on Sunday that all short-term travellers would be prohibited from entering the country – including passengers transiting through Changi Airport.

Thai Airways is planning to suspend most of its flights by 1 April. The airline said it had been reluctant to cut its capacity but, with more nearby countries closing their borders, it had been left with no choice.

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.
