International aviation industry reacts to U.S. terrorist attacks
Still unable to comprehend the monstrous scale of the September 11 terrorist assault on the U.S., the international air transport industry got a swift tast

Still unable to comprehend the monstrous scale of the September 11 terrorist assault on the U.S., the international air transport industry got a swift taste of the disruption and chronic uncertainty that undoubtedly lie ahead. Business aviation–which some are now saying will become increasingly important as companies look for a safe and convenient alternative to airline travel–faced serious restrictions in the week following the attack.

All flights to the U.S. were stopped until late on September 13, when some flights by U.S. carriers resumed. The first commercial services by non-U.S. airlines resumed to and from the U.S. on September 14, but only from countries that had met the FAA’s new 11-point security code covering check-in and boarding procedures.
