United are pencilled in to restart the Newark service on the 24th October this year. Will this be with a 757? If passenger levels grow to pre-Covid levels then they'll have to use a 763.
As stated earlier American are starting next year. That'll surely be a A321N?
Delta are due to restart again 2nd June this year with a 757. With them being the sole carrier across the Atlantic this summer could we possibly see it being changed to a 763, extra frequencies or, dare I say, 777?

No meaningful return to operations until July at the earliest for IAG. Depends, I suppose, if they consider LCY/EDI "meaningful".

My points were, at times Scotish politicians said we are all in this together as four nations. Went into lock down together and all but one nation seem to want to ease lockdown together.
My main point is with Scotland possibly being three weeks behind the other three nations, at some point all other nations/countries will be flying around and Scotland NOT. Or will Scotland have to bend the rules and allow flights to operate during their extended lockdown. By not leaving all together we will always be three weeks behind England not just in air travel in all matters of trade. What eveidence have the Scottish Politicians given to extend it ?

HELIPIXMAN - Right now the three daily Aer Lingus flights to Heathrow are the ONLY way into and out of Belfast to and from the rest of the UK by air !
Through Loganair are maintaining the Stansted subsidised link into Ellington .

Lets hope sense prevails regarding all aspect of easing lockdown, after all the hard work the NHS and key workers have done, be a shame to waste it, I live in Scotland and not that bothered about the extended lockdown if it keeps us safe, just wondered what impact it would have between here and the other UK Nations for air travel?
BTW where is Ellington ? or did you mean Eglington

I understand that, but it does show that people are willing to travel during lockdown, even with being told all but essential travel ? I looked at the photos of the travellers, could not see any wearing masks.

Yes LAX B787 base is confirmed as closing, but again that doesn't necessarily mean no long haul at all from there...routes could be crewed by other bases.
To keep things at least vaguely on topic, I do wonder if UA will choose to suspend ORD and IAD next year to help bolster the EWR route, regardless of what type is operating...

What do you think the chances are of the Spaniards letting the Brits in by 17th June? According to Nicola today, Scotland is going to stay locked down to almost the end of May (or longer). Seems unlikely the Spanish will welcome Scottish tourists so quickly.

Air Canada Rouge To Retire Boeing 767 - EDI ops?
From Airwaysmag (on-line) 07 May 20
'Following Air Canada’s (AC) 1Q loss report, its subsidiary Rouge (RV) will retire a number of Boeing 767 aircraft due to the halt of long-haul international operations.
According to the statement, the operation is part of a 79 Boeing 767 withdraw plan related with principal carrier Air Canada (AC) and its subsidiary RV.
Even though some aircraft will remain in the Boeing 767 fleet, AC CFO, Michael Rousseau said that key European international destinations covered by RV would be now operated by AC’s Airbus A330 and Boeing 777.''
- Wondering if YYZ / EDI (&GLA, MAN & LGW) will be dropped, or at least not re-started for summer 2021? or are they considered key European Intl destinations?

Didn't Air Canada buy Air Transat? TS already have a presence in Glasgow so I guess they could strengthen ops with more frequent A330s and perhaps return to Edinburgh with the A321LR.

Since, at the moment, there's not a Scottish passport, just a British one, if the Spanish are happy for the English to travel, they'll be OK with the Scots, Northern Irish and Welsh as well. Since the UK has seen no meaning fall in the daily numbers of new cases since the start of April, and nothing changes significantly in the next 2 or 3 weeks there'll be no chance of anyone being allowed to enter Spain from UK, (unless they are residents or key workers) by 17th June, whatever Nicola says.
