Airport Slot Requirements Now Being Waived

Now Imagine if "all countries" decided to seriously work together on finding a permanent vaccine against the coronavirus, so many lives would be saved and dramatic costly measures would be avoided

Julia, all countries are working together on this through the WHO and bilaterally. Vaccines take time m.

Now just imagine if "all nine women" decided to seriously work together on having a baby in one month.

Now imagine what Willie Walsh is doing right now. He's just gained an additional 12 slots at Heathrow that he doesn't have to use right now. Add to that Air Europa is pretty much a done deal. He's definitely retiring with a bang.

The myth about BA operating flights between LHR & LGW is just that.

At the present time they are repositioning a number of A319s LGW-LHR and a number of A320s the other way. This is to standardise their bucket and spade operation at LGW around the A320 for the summer season and make use of the A319s at LHR on business routes that have lower uptake in the main holiday periods.

While its good that these requirements are relaxed, airlines should be forced to pay a small and modest fine payable to the airport or civil aviation authority directly to discourage future and likely frivolous requests for slot usage requirement relaxations.

Just imagine if Jefferies and Andrew ran Hooters airline?
Panties with your coffee sir?

Might need to refocus the blog on US - UK travel for awhile. With all the travel bans and x markers leading to secondary screenings, it might be your safest option

Temporarily change site to No Miles At A Time. Only need to change one word from one to no.
