Good question especially as Greece not 'open' yet and even when it is we are, quite rightly, not wanted.
Almost all the European tourist centres can‘t wait for the Brits to return and in numbers ! The current resistance is rather more routed in decisions made in and around Whitehall ! |

This the British aren’t wanted is platitudinous drivel without evidence.

Snakes bite
When I was growing up in the northern countryside my Dad gave me good advice - "if you are out waking and stand on an adders head, be sure to keep your foot on its neck until its dead. If you take your foot off too soon, it'll bite you probably harder than it might have done first time."
Remember that when our super-lax, very British way of not dealing with Covid19 properly first time round, alliows it to come back with a Vengeance (about 21 days after the those essential things called Pubs etc reopen?). |

Just curious. |

Ah, but what was the trip purpose OR why Athens?
Just curious. There were a couple Jet2 charter flights recently to/from OTP to pick up fruit pickers to work in the U.K., but I’ve no idea what the reason behind these Athens charters is. |
Positioning callsign for the return so must've been carrying passengers out. Quick skim through FR24 departures, potentially passengers transferring to CA864?
|
Probably a repatriation flight taking Greeks back to Athens in the absence of schedule services.
Why would Jet2 be taking people to connect to an Air China flight from Athens when 6x Air China aircraft leave LHR every day? |

Because that flight had capacity and LHR didn't ?
And why is taking passengers to Athens to connect independently onto an Air China flight more likely than simply taking some of the many Greeks that reside in London, particularly North London, back to Athens as their country opens up but no direct scheduled flights from London exist? |
There are severe restrictions on passenger flights to China, along the lines of once per week from an individual country per carrier. I maybe wrong on the specifics, but I'm pretty certain Air China can only do 1 passenger flight per week from LHR to PEK
|
Then they’d have been able to put a flight from LHR to PEK on, as they currently do zero per week (for passengers).
I’m not sure what the point of the discussion is. Jet2 aren’t flying people to Athens to connect to an Air China flight. The suggestion was daft and doesn’t warrant a thread drift. |
The Sale of Fowler Welch
I see that Jet2s owner has sold its distribution and logistics business for almost £100 million, to concentrate on its airline and tour operating interests.
I used to work for an Airline & Engineering company that also over the years sold off its assets, until it owned next to nothing and as such is no longer here. Its not always a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket, they have sold off the only part of the business that is likely to make a profit in this financial year. :uhoh: |

You really think that the profits from FWC are in any way significant enough to run an airline during a pandemic? |
