It goes without saying that terrorism attacks can greatly impact the demand for travel. I'm not just talking about the demand for travel to the city where such an attack occurred,but even the demand for travel in general, as some people are afraid to travel following attacks in celebrated cities.
F0r example, and the terrorism attacks in Paris late last year cost Air France an estimated €50m.
I suspect the recent attacks in Brussels will contain an even more lasting impact on both the airport and tourism in Brussels in general. Since one of the bombings was at Brussels Airport itself,the airport is still shut down, and it could be a while before it reopens.
At the moment Brussels Airlines is operating select regional flights out of nearby airports, and while they're operating their longhaul flights out of Frankfurt Airport. I can't even imagine what a logistical challenge that is,and how much it has impacted them financially.
