Customers with bookings during the suspension have until August to rebook and will be able to push back travel dates as far as the end of April 2021. Airlines have been among the hardest-hit industries as the spread of the COVID-19 respiratory disease trigerred by the new coronavirus has brought travel to a grinding halt in many parts of the world.
