    WHILE supply chains and trade have shown resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic, the outlook is gloomier for air travel, said Finance Minister Lawrence Wong at CNBC's Evolve Global Summit on Wednesday.

    The minister, who co-chairs the multi-ministry taskforce on Covid-19, said he was "somewhat less sanguine about the prospects for air travel" compared to trade.
