But do they? I'd argue that it's taken MH 10 years to recover and shake off its 'unsafe' reputation after MH17 and 370 and its only now tentatively restarting more routes in Europe. Countries affected by unrest such as Egypt have seen massive hits to their tourism industry. Yes it can come back, but it often takes years to recover.

While I'm sure the ME3 will continue to fly post war, their profitability and reputation is almost certainly going to take a hit. Unless this war ends quickly and is followed by a long period of calm, I think it will take a long time before confidence is fully restored.
