International, in Q2 2019 AAG had 21.181 million revenue passenger miles, in Q2 2021, it was 7.151. The international flying is still totally flatlined at 30% from pre-COVID numbers.

That is a massive drop. This is why without PSP AAG would have lost 1.1 billion in Q2 2021. And Q3 is looking a lot worse with further shutdowns from lunatic governments.

Covid is a gift that keeps on giving, and it's far from over.
