WHY IS IRAN AIR STILL FLYING INTO LHR??
IR711 arrived today (24 March) and used T3.
I first pointed out the gross risk employees and pax are exposed to from this service in an earlier posting 12 days ago. Having been in T3 and passing close to the departure gate for an Iran Air Flight on 12 March, I am now astonished that these flights are permitted to continue. The Covid-19 virus has taken hold in Tehran, with many deaths reported. Knowing the Iranian government's penchant for covering up unsavoury truths, the probability exists that these flights are exposing pax and employees at LHR to high risk levels.
Without wokeish comments on the wonderful nature of the Iranian people, can someone please explain why this risk-laden situation is permitted?
In my view, the levels of safety in the UK's lockdown are minimal. Having just returned from Canada, I have witnessed proper safety measures being taken everywhere without any lockdown being announced. (Including the airport YVR, much safer than LHR or MAN).
