This from the BBC News live ticker on the dreaded virus regarding Edinburgh airport could equally apply to just about any airport in UK (with the undoubted exception of LHR!).
Edinburgh Airport has warned that it is potentially facing the scenario of receiving no passengers in the next three months because of coronavirus.
In a statement released on Friday, a spokesman for the airport said: "We are facing an unprecedented situation, looking at the potential of three months of zero or close to zero passenger demand.
"We have spent the last few weeks looking at how we deal with the immediate and longer term effects and unfortunately that means taking some extremely tough decisions as the industry continues to react."
More than 100 jobs at the Scottish airport are said to be at risk.
In these sorts of circumstances talk of new routes is just about as fanciful as expecting to see a flock of flying pigs. I feel very sorry for the thousands working in commercial aviation, it's ancillary services, tourism and hospitality.
