our business correspondent ben thompson is here for us. good morning.you just need to look around the world and how many aircraft are locked up in storage, such as the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on air travel and our demand to get away. easyjet telling us it has made a loss of £1.27 billion, the airline flying at just 20% of normal capacity and the posturing of this morning it expects that to continue right through to next year. that to continue right through to next yea r. let's that to continue right through to next year. let's get the thoughts of travel analyst paul charles. good morning. perhaps no great surprise, easyj et morning. perhaps no great surprise, easyjet like many other airlines really struggling now and it says that slowdown in demand will continue well into next year? chilly times for airlines. easyjet celebrating its 25th birthday this year and having to report it first ata year and having to report it first at a loss. when it launched it was all about changing the face of travel and how we travel and it has done that over the

lets go to our business reporter ben thompson. 0h, oh, dear, this is awful, just before christmas asof scathing criticism, christian, that this was an analogue retailer in the digital world. a lot of criticism that service so you excerpt philip green, the boss at arcadia, had failed to invest in this business over the last decade, and the likes of boo—hoo over the last decade, and the likes of boo— hoo and over the last decade, and the likes of boo—hoo and online retailers really stealing its customers. of course, big questions about what happens next. arcadia says it will continue to run these stories, even though it's in administration. it wants customers through the doors. when they can reopen in england, this week, but they're also just make big questions about who would wa nt make big questions about who would want to potentially buy this company. now, topshop is one of its premier brands, that could find a buyer, but the big questions about whether anyone would want wallace or evans or ms. selfridge or dorothy perkins, the other brands that fall within the arcadia so few questi
