The American oil suppliers are barred from serving Iranian businesses by US sanctions whilst they also have banking issues that prevent many lines of credit and use of the US clearing systems . The A330s can currently make it on round trip, occasional drops are made in Turkey and Italy at the moment where they are able acquire fuel either via local tanking (Turkey) or from Russian spot markets. Iranair continue to serve Heathrow three weekly and off the record dont be surprised if a certain UK citizens liberty and supply of UK pharmaceuticals are part of a rather more nuanced mini deal that may be going on. |

All for sale on the easyJet website. |
Concrete evidence suggests a tsunami of restarts from the main UK hubs of Heathrow and Manchester in June July August.
Not seen anything for the smaller regional airports like Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds etc One wonders if airlines will consolidate at the majors ? |

As far as I know May/June cancelled, July would be dependent on what's happening in the UK I guess, they will be cancelled most likely at the end of May or beginning of June. Staff have been furloughed for May/June but not July as yet but as the scheme has been extended most likely July as well. I personally think August you may see something 🤞

I'm pretty certain he's referring to Cathay whom he is, I understand, employed by.

I may be wrong, but I am hearing inbound quarantine into HKG has been extended until September. Restrictions on transits, however, has been lifted. Can't see Cathay coming back until inbound restrictions are lifted.
(That is quarantine for HKG residents- non residents are currently not allowed to stay) From the SCMP re HKG entry."Compulsory quarantine will also apply until July 7 for travellers from mainland China, Macau and Taiwan, and September 18 for residents arriving from overseas. The indefinite ban on non-residents flying into Hong Kong from abroad has also been continued" My guess we will not see Cathay back at MAN until these restrictions are lifted. |

Manchester Airport are trialing a pre booked 15 minute window slot for passing through security. I'm curious as to how this works in practise. A passenger would not really know how long the check in- bag drop experience will take. Maybe OK with very few people, but if services ramp up- check in time could be unpredictable. Interesting experiment though. (By the way the security pre book is free)
|
Mr A tis, it's not only security and check in. The journey to the airport is also important, trains can be delayed, roads and car parking can be slow.
|
Re security - To be honest it should I guess be applauded that they are actually doing something innovative.
They seemingly failed to capitalise on aircraft parking and they are not that keen to handle anything more than a handful of freighters a week. |
Just out of interest, does anyone know when T2/T3 are likely to open again?
