It will be a govt take over so may not stop flying, but instead just see various assets and flights switch over to Air China, China Eastern or China Southern.

Great news.

Presume there was a large dose of sarcasm in that post?

Suppose the question is will they be back at all with the current climate

Once people are allowed to travel, the airlines will gradually start flying but not at the rate they did before. If they flew a route 4 x daily, they will start with no more than 2 daily and see how bookings go. Some routes will be slow to return, some not at all.

More out of the blue stuff! Must be student related.
