No clue but no worse than anywhere else. I guess the big elephant in the room is a prolonged shutdown risking the future of EZY and FR as airlines at worst, and a major consolidation at key bases as a middle scenario. That could see both retrench to a set of core routes at LGW & STN respectively. Add to that potential Brexit no-deal outcome, which the immediate population seem heavily supportive of. SEN could be left with almost nothing, but then the same is true of most other airports. Even EDI have admitted pax could be close to 0 in the near term.
Actually I don’t think much has been said on any thread. Really no one knows, it’s above airports so in a way no point talking about it and replicating what is said in overall corona threads.
