Just one passenger flight today with all others cancelled as Bulgaria has barred all international travel. Also a couple of flights to North Macedonia are also showing as cancelled.

Just to say thank you for the kind words expressed by everybody over the last couple of days. Back to aviation matters, interesting article in Forbes Magazine saying that Wizz are the largest airline in Europe by number of seats on sale last week beating both Ryanair and Lufthansa.

Social distancing, as being practised between the airport operator and the Dart contractor. It seems when people are at work everyone soon forgets about the 2m rule even when there is plenty of room to enforce it whether inside the airport or outside it.

The terminal is still open 24/7 for a single departure leaving at 20:35. This from the airport operator in their Covid 19 Q&A section
Q/ Are flights still operating?
A/ Air transport links are considered a key service under current Government guidance, which we continue to follow in full.
With an answer like that how can they shut the terminal or maybe that answer was given a month ago when the terminal was busier. It will be interesting if they do close the terminal to understand the reasons why when this flight is considered a key service.

With the runway closed on May 21st for a paint job to change the markings to 07/25, which has been in the Notam for weeks, I would have expected a change in fire cover to have been included in a Notam when known if that event was just days away.
Terminal closure now on Notams......Until May 1st

I pointed out the 2m rule as I walked past and they moved away from each other so I am guessing they were not. They were not the only ones, the terminal was empty yet I saw a couple of security staff walking side be side but then they could have been a same sex couple.
