They lose money, right? Do they have to do it to keep their airport slots or something?

Airlines are such an odd industry. You'd think they'd run like a bus but so many variables.

Something about landing slots. Slots are a scarce and precious asset for airlines, and if they don’t use them they lose them. So they have to use them even if the planes are empty.

You can't fly a plane for a year if it sits idle for more than a week. Regulations.

I heard they're still running despite planes being empty because air travel is deemed an essential service. They aren't really losing money though because the government is going to provide them with subsidies to bridge the gap until everything returns to normal.
