    • March 2020 traffic figures are strongly impacted by COVID-19, reflecting progressive extension of capacity reductions due to the global expansion of the virus
    • Special flights have been operated by Air France, KLM and Transavia to repatriate citizens to their home countries, in close cooperation with the Governments of France and the Netherlands
    • For April and May 2020 the Group foresees over 90% of planned capacity to be suspended as a consequence of the globally imposed travel restrictions to counter the spread of the COVID-19. Air France and KLM aim to continue serving key city pairs by a skeleton operation from their respective hubs
    • Beyond May 2020 the Group is currently unable to provide insight due to the high level of uncertainty over the duration of the crisis and continuously monitors the situation and accordingly evaluates if additional network adjustments are required

Middle East - Iran turmoil/Impact assessment

In this ING equities impact assessment of the situation in the Middle East report, we focus on a selection of 11 companies which we cover and we expect to be impacted by the current situation in the Middle East following the war in Iran, which started on 28 February and has since spread further into the region. We found that every company in this report faces its own challenges in the short term, while we also discuss the longer-term strategic implications.
