pr/political angle to certain airports wanting to be seen to be accepting these flights.
So are you suggesting that the NW has no demand for PPE and other equipment in its own right with its significant population and large hospitals for example in the vicinity of the two airports? It's the absence of such direct flights here in recent weeks that's difficult to understand. And I suspect NAVPI has rather more knowledge of how the NHS supply chain works than you assume.
