Ed Bastian addresses Delta’s recent outage and the airline’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
The travel industry has been stopped short by the coronavirus pandemic but as the nation recovers, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said he expects travel to bounce back to normal.
Bastian revealed Thursday on “The Claman Countdown” that domestic travel should see a full recovery by the end of summer 2021 and business travel specifically could return to pre-pandemic levels by the start of July.
“I think if you take the period from July 1 forward, we’re going to see business travel at levels that were consistent with where we were pre-pandemic,” he said. “There are so many businesses that need to get back out to their customers that have created new contacts they haven’t been able to serve during the pandemic period while they couldn’t travel that need to be back out with their teams.”
