With planes grounded and holidays cancelled, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on the air travel industry

Globally, airlines have lost an estimated 50% of revenue in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 2019 figures, according to the International Air Transport Association.

As UK airlines begin to increase their flight schedules, they will have to make sure they comply with ‘a myriad of legislation and guidance… issued by UK authorities and international bodies in recent months,’ barristers Katherine Deal QC & Christopher Loxton, of 3 Hare Court, write in this week’s NLJ.

Deal & Loxton survey some of the main legal requirements and highlight liability issues for air travel operators.
