Speaking at the Paris Air Forum on Friday (20 November), de Juniac thanked governments around the world for provision, to date, of around £120 billion in support, Reuters reports.
However, he said also stressed that in the coming months, the industry’s additional funding needs would amount to around another £60 billion in aid "otherwise some airlines will not survive".
De Juniac also offered an update on the financial outlook for the sector, admitting losses for the year could run to £75 billion, up from a previous Iata estimate of £65.5 billion.
