I spotted an oddity on Flightradar - the afternoon Eastern flight to VLY was in the air both out and back before even check-in was due to close. Both flights arrived just minutes after they were due off stand at origin. Might these flights have both gone with 0 pax? And if they did, did Eastern have to physically fly to get the money from the Government? You’d assume they were sure they weren’t waiting on anyone

Not sure about that unless it’s literally just changed this week, was supposed to be on it last week at times FR24 says but couldn’t travel as the new guidance came in and meeting cancelled.

Looking at the DOH: I make that an average of 191 pax (on 22 rotations in January) giving it a LF of just over 75%

Looking at the DOH: I make that an average of 185 pax (on 20 rotations in Feb) giving it a LF of just over 72%
The last solid month we have to go on I guess. March and onwards will be quite distorted.

Business travel may take longer to come back to previous levels - in my opinion. This has got nothing to do with my opinion on SOU. If anything they will extend the runway and have a go at international leisure. In fact they have said this themselves - it’s their key to survival.

Welsh government calling on the UK government to help regional airports. And its repurposed a loan extension to help the airport keep going and 50% of the staff have been furloughed.

I'm very surprised about this but you can book Cardiff to Glasgow with Easyjet on their website. The flight is operated by Loganair of course. It looks like Easyjet and Loganair are partners through Worldwide by Easyjet. Oddly you can't book flights to Edinburgh though.
