'We've got a tough year ahead until there's a vaccine,' United CEO Scott Kirby said. 'The good news is, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.'

Almost six months after the Coronavirus caused airline passenger levels to plunge 95% in the U.S., the industry has not seen a sharp rebound in business.

"We've got a tough year ahead until there's a vaccine," Kirby answered. "The good news is, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel." "Zoom can be a substitute when you can't be there, but it is not the same as being there in person. I think that it won't happen overnight, but within a year or two, I do think business travel will come back," he said.
