all of whom have problems of their own. It amazes me how people think that reality doesn’t apply to the financial situation during this pandemic and acquisitions and expansion can still go on as if there’s some sort of fantasy magic money tree.
(Well we know in the case of Alitalia and Air France financial reality doesn’t apply but any funding there is to continue to provide services to their individual country not a blank cheque to bankroll a mass expansion push to start fifth freedoming out of Heathrow and presumably other European Capitals. There’s also any number of reasons why the U.K. Government wouldn’t want that situation occurring).
