BA boss says rich holidaymakers will make up for fall in business-class flying

The company's chief executive, Sean Doyle, said that contrary to research suggesting the airline industry will lose much of its most lucrative clientele, he believed corporate travel would return after the coronavirus pandemic, but exactly what shape that takes we're not sure".
