Within 10 years Amazon will expand into commercial air travel and will comprise >80% of the domestic market share.
Beginning in 2021, Amazon, along with other large private firms, will lobby the U.S. government to have COVID-19 restrictions upheld for an extended period of time. As a result, the lack of long-distance travel will ultimately cause most of the major players (SW, AA, Delta...) to ultimately file for bankruptcy. At the same time, Amazon will begin mass producing commercial airliners, renovating their current cargo jets for commercial use, and will buy abandoned airport space - using the revenue garnered from Amazon Prime subscriptions to subsidize their activities.
By the time the WHO finally declares that we are no longer in a pandemic, Amazon Air may be the only major domestic airline remaining.
