Will flying become more expensive?

We asked industry observer John Gradek about flying from home.

Likely yes, but not forever, industry observer John Gradek said. “This is a commodity business. If there's lots of demand out there, prices will go up ... If people think it's too expensive ... you'll see prices come back down.”

How long until smaller airports get their service back?

The smaller, the longer, Gradek said. “Airlines are going to be coming back with less airplanes. That's a given fact. Air Canada is mothballing about 30 per cent of their fleet.”
