Despite a lack of passengers, regulations regarding flight slots initially compelled British airlines to fly empty planes to European airports in order to avoid losing their slots. Fuel prices dropping (due to an oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia) by around a quarter could not compensate for the fall in demand. Google Trends indicate that airline customer service departments have received the largest rise in online searches between February and March 2020 than any other customer service department over that time period. Analysts expect airlines to reduce the size of their fleets as a result of the downturn, and point out that this could be done either by modernising fleetshastening the retirement of older aircraft and maintaining planned deliveries of new, more fuel- efficient modelsor by retaining older planes and reducing capital expenditure on new aircraft. By mid-April, the inactive fleet ballooned to almost 14,400, over two-thirds of the 22,000 mainline passenger airliners, leaving 7,635 in operation stood: predominantly in Europe, where less than 15% are operating, than in North America (45%) or Asia (49%); and affecting Narrow-body aircraft (37%) less than wide-body aircraft (27%).
