At the end of June, the deconfinement will be fully recorded.
And the French are already planning their vacations.
Even if many have chosen to go to France, some wish to cross the globe and therefore take the plane.
Will air traffic resume as before the coronavirus crisis?
Europe 1 deciphers the situation in this sector.
DECRYPTION
Are we going to be able to travel by plane this summer?
Since the start of the health crisis linked to the coronavirus, air traffic has slowed down with the restrictions that each country in the world is setting up to close its borders.
With the vaccination and the last stage of deconfinement at the end of June, the French will be tempted to take the plane for their summer vacation.
Transavia and Corsair hope to do better than in 2019
Airlines are hoping to ramp up, but they know it will be gradual.
Everything will be ready: Air France is in the process of deconfining 22 planes and will concentrate on the most demanded destinations, for example by strengthening its offer to Greece.
In July and August, the company will offer 65% of its offer compared to 2019.

Transavia, its low-cost subsidiary of the French airline, even hopes to do better than in 2019. It now has an expanded fleet and reservations to Spain, Portugal and Greece are on the rise.
Corsair, with its offers to Guadeloupe and Martinique, wants to have a summer as good as two years ago.
Around 50% of expected attendance at airports
For now, all the indicators are good: vaccination, deconfinement and of course, demand.
Comparator Liligo notes three times more searches than last year.
But even if the situation is improving, Paris Aéroports expects traffic of around 50% compared to a typical summer.
Last May, it was barely 20%.
Finally, all players in the aviation sector want to avoid traffic jams during checks. The European health pass, accessible via the TousAntiCovid application, should save a few precious minutes for each passenger.
