LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will support the strategic aviation industry in "any way it can" as the sector suffers from the coronavirus pandemic which has grounded planes and seen carriers seek government support around the world.

"The aviation industry is both an extremely important one strategically for us as a country and one which employs a great deal of people," housing minister Robert Jenrick said on Saturday.
