British Airways
Alex Cruz on Friday stating it was a fight for survival.
IAG saying today they have £9bn in the bank. If I was working for IAG in normal times and knew they had that nest egg stowed away... it's a bloody ostrich egg.
Not letting a good crisis going to waste?

Just had an email from British Airways to say my flight on 15th April to Los Angeles is operating as normally. But I can apply for a voucher if I don’t want to travel. I’m really confused nfused as the travel ban to USA takes us past this date. Or do they want people to accept vouchers and not refunds!

I received something similar for my trip to Beirut. Lebanon is in complete lockdown and is banning all direct flights from many nations including the U.K. even if I travel on 10th April I will be put into isolation when I arrive. I expect BA to have cancelled and refunded my flight not offer me a voucher.

Looks like one part of BA isn' talking to the other.

3 777's currently en-route LHR to HAV (not a BA destination as far as I know) under BAW9xxx flight no's
Assume these are charters/rescue flights of some sort? - cruise ship pax perhaps?

I believe they are related to a rescue mission for a cruise. I think on behalf of Fred Olsen

Think its FCO arranged. One ship to evacuate is Fred Olsens Braemar that has quite a few on board who have the virus..Been at sea due to nowhere prepared to accept it until Cuba stepped in as a humanitarian gesture. Maybe other ships making for there as well.

Yes, two 777-300s and one 777-200 are en-route to HAV to bring back cruise pax tomorrow. Also two 777-200s are heading for Punta Cana (from LGW) to operate repatriation flights.

The three B777s are as reported bringing back the cruise passengers, those that might have symptoms or need isolation are being brought back by separate means by the UK government.
