I do not mean to minimize the Covid-19 pandemic by calling it a grand science experiment. I am referring to the reopening of our economy. I believe that we will have a strong sense of the success of this in the next four weeks. Either the reopening will create a new virus wave or spike or our economy will find a safe balance that will allow for confidence to return to us even if some new realities are associated with opening, such as lighter capacity for restaurants and other gathering places.
I believe that if we can create confidence around getting out and about, many if not most segments of our wonderful business aviation industry will rebound. Once air charter begins to really come back and operators start to use their aviation assets again, fuel sales will come back.
