  1. Could be interesting to see which Airlines are bailed out by the Goverment, by banks and by leasing companies. Most likely only a few can survive 2020 on their own cash and assets.

  2. German Airways (WDL) only has 5 regional aircraft in its fleet, not 21.

    And TAME ceased all operations in the end.

    • Hi GM,

      Thanks for the info on TAME, I updated accordingly. The fleet count showed is at the time of filing. I clarified the table accordingly.

    • Hi, it is German Airways, which used to be named LGW. They just lost their contract with Lufthansa.
