Why? With the fluidity of whats happening to aviation at the moment surely any news good or bad, big or trivial still deserves posting?
It does'nt take a millisecond to scroll past peoples posts if it's not to your liking.

I asked before but can anyone here who actually works at EDI give some insight as to what sort of loads the various resumed services are achieving? I am genuinely fascinated to know.

I can’t help but think Scotland and Wales are having a political peeing contest just to show who is in charge. With open borders in both and English airports on the borders it is non sensical to vary policy.
imo at times of national crisis and whilst they remain part of the UK,Westminster should have primacy to avoid all this confusion.
there are so many travel & aviation jobs at stake, now is not the time for needless and as I say, in practice ineffective political point scoring.
its a bit like having a customs allowance between England/Scotland and Wales - totally unenforceable and pointless without a hard border.

In general, inbound demand very poor, outbound demand higher, particularly to Eastern Europe/Spain. I expect inbound loads will pick up with time as no doubt the majority of those outbound pax on recently restarted routes will be looking to return...

The new landing forms require an address and mobile telephone number for tracing purposes, Combine this with long standing load information that is passed to the UK Border Forces and intelligence services before your flight even lands in the UK mean the authorities know where you are !
The Scottish Police and Public Health Authorities should be able to access this information on public safety grounds.
The seconds part of the above statement is why checking grannies passport on entry is primarily for theatrical purposes !

We no longer have a United Kingdom, I live in Scotland and can see why Nicola Sturgeon is doing some of the things to safegueard her people and country. What I do think though is, she is just copying England by doing it a few weeks later. I just wonder what happens if people like me, fly abroad from Manchester rather than Edinburgh or Glasgow (alot cheaper). Who or how would Scotland police that under current conditions ? There is very little unity between the UK nations, just hope its not about political point scoring ? This is affecting peoples jobs, lives, income and all aspects of daily life and needs some form of Unity.
I don't think she is political point scoring, but Johnson is the only one of the not doing daily breifngs or releasing figures

Nicola Sturgeon is indeed point scoring. Friend came in from BCN yesterday, only one hand wash in the whole terminal. Immigration indifferent but very impressed that she had filled in the form. The political rhetoric versus reality big chasm of course. But visibly gloating over England cheers the sheep up.
And another thing... Ryanair / Jet2 / TUI ops to Spain royally done in by Scottish politics. Catalonia anyone? Never mind the economy or local jobs when 6/10000 currently have this bug.

Since immigration is entirely the responsibility of Westminster, it's they who should be criticised for the lazy attitude you report. And complain to the airport if cleaning facilities are not available or even apparent.
The people of Scotland have done wonders in bringing down the infection rate so rapidly. It's hardly surprising that they want to keep it that way.

Sad you feel this way, the virus continues to be a problem
The USA had 31,824 new cases yesterday.
The UK 650 new cases

Spain has not said how many new cases they have had but Catalonia new cases are increasing rapidly.
