After travel bans and stay at home orders from the covid-19 pandemic, everyone is itching to get out and travel. The entire travel industry was crippled by the pandemic as public transportation was at a standstill.
Airlines were hit hard by the lack of passengers, furloughed travel industry employees were forced to find other means to get by, not knowing when their jobs would return.
The return of travel is still coming along, albeit at a snail’s pace. While passengers are rearing to go, the airlines haven’t been able to staff all the demands for travel. Either through staff unable to work due to covid positive testing, exposure, quarantine, etc. airlines have been plagued by cancellations and delays beyond measure.
