Flying during the first days of the COVID19 pandemic
I am a pilot and fly for a Spanish airline.
Since I started to fly, I have always taken pictures. Stories of passengers (businesspeople, immigrants, tourists, families …), airport handling, crews, homeless living in airports … have always interested me.
In Spain, due to COVID19, the state of alert began on March 15th, 2020. I flew for the first time on April 19th, 2020. The daily news was apocalyptic, and I wanted to document this exceptional situation heavily impacting the transport industry and the jobs of millions in the world. Specifically, in Spain, the aftereffects are huge: tourism is almost the 15% of the country's GDP and 80% of tourism arrive in Spain by plane.
With these pictures I want to give visibility to those people that worked during the pandemic allowing workers to continue with their jobs, families to be together or health devices to be transported.
