interesting to see the DL 767’s getting withdrawn starting next year with not much currently to replace transatlantic 757/767s. Presumably the ‘thinner’ seasonals may lose out.
Even with a daily to 4/wk service reduction, lets hope it goes ahead in some format. Suspect they’d concentrate on keeping JFK viable in the first instance.

Given that the German Robert Koch Institute have placed Scotland and Northeast England on the quarantine list I don't think that's the least bit surprising, the routes are probably quite leisure dependent so will be hit hard.

easyJet appeared to have cancelled Munich for October, with 2 per week from November..at the moment.
What I am surprised at is the amount of commentators who seem to think these route cancellations are peculiar to Edinburgh only.

If, if we're being optimistic, when a vaccine turns up the first in the queue to get it will be the usual suspects in the NHS and other critical areas of the public service. The rest of the population (those who earn money and donate corporate taxation to the national exchequers) will be way down the pecking order. That's not to belittle the NHS and public service by the way.
So there will be no justification to raise quarantine or travel restriction for probably 6 months after a vaccine starts being rolled out. On that basis it would seem vanishingly unlikely that any routes suspended until Summer 2021 would come back earlier.

In fact Delta is to retire its entire fleet of B777 by the end of this year.
Confirmed again today JFK to be daily B767 next summer and Boston 4 weekly B767 from May'21
Yes we all know and understand subject to change blah blah
