The Airport Operators Association (AOA) in the UK is urging the government to support the industry as without backing it fears that some airports will shut down within weeks.
AOA CEO, Karen Dee, said: “Governments across the world are supporting their national aviation industries, as many parts of the global travel industry have come to a halt."
"As some airlines call on the UK government to act similarly, we are clear that airports will shut down in weeks unless urgent action is taken to support the industry."
