International Airline industry past worst point of Covid crisis.

The International Air Transport Association (Iata) has said the airline industry is now over the worst of the Covid pandemic but urged governments to simplify travel rules and open borders to help the aviation sector operate within a now “endemic” phase of the virus.

Iata’s director-general, Willie Walsh, said: “We are past the deepest point of the crisis. While serious issues remain, the path to recovery is coming into view.”
