I can confirm that flights to TFS are very popular today with 4 TOM Dreamliners due from LGW, BHX, MAN & DSA. Normally it would be 1 or 2 Dreamliners per week. Last minute getaway before lockdown. Have to say that the Canaries are far safe than the UK with a rate of 55 compared to 460 in the UK (14 day rates provided by ECDC).

Yes, good to see 3 Dreamliners on approach within an hour. Welcome to TFS.

After Thursday flights from the UK will reduce to a trickle with UK lockdown banning holidays. From 14th November the Canaries will have their new measures in place (ie provide a negative Covid certificate to gain access to regulated accommodation). That should stop most 'Brits from highly infected arears' and other countries including regions of Spain from importing the virus.

I wish people would stop calling this a UK lockdown. It's extremely misleading.
Scotland and NI are not in Lockdown and Wales is coming out of its firebreak lockdown in a few days. This is an English lockdown, for England. In Edinburgh, while we have some restrictions, I am by no means in a lockdown and won't be when England goes into Thiers either. The situation may change, I hope not, but the fact remains there is no UK lockdown happening. |
So much for a UNITED Kingdom.

Why? It lets England see how badly they are being governed.

I am not an SNP supporter. I suggest that you look at the data over recent weeks and explain why the Scots don't need to go for a complete lockdown.

Spare us your Pro-SNP rhetoric. Scotland has fared no better either politically or from a virus management perspective in this whole debacle.

No different than the EU with 27 different countries and 27 different policies. Go to Spain and there are 17 autonomous regions with 17 different set of rules.
The worst thing the UK did was to devolve power. Most well run countries in the world ie Germany 16 Bundersländer, Switzerland 26 Cantons, Australia 6 States and 10 territories, Canada 10 provinces and 3 territories to name a few all have Federal systems, all the systems have more devolved powers to various component regions and arguably more successful as nations than the UK. So what the worst thing the UK has done is limit devolution and have all the power to muppets like BoJo, Gove and Dominic Cummings and we deserve the **** storm that is destroying aviation. |
Can we keep discussion of devolution to JetBlast please ? The thread is about "Coronavirus Impact on Air Travel"
|
One of the main reasons sighted for Spain’s poor Covid response are the conflicts of opinions from each region which can set its own rules. Like the UK, people are restricted from travelling freely, which is what the EU nations did with each other in the Spring.
Changing the subject I was talking to a cousin in Federal Canada who had a Covid test 4 weeks ago and still hasn’t got his results back. None of this plays well regarding air travel. 9 months on and very few countries have the virus under control and the ones that do have very strict controls on who is allowed into their countries so we wait for a vaccine that many have said they won’t have. |
I've noticed, particularly in the last 6 weeks that throughout Europe, scheduled flights have been consistently closing doors maybe 15 mins before scheduled departure time, and taking off often a few minutes before scheduled departure time - with the result that on arrival passengers begin disembarking well before the scheduled arrival time
Can anyone point me to some weekly or daily rigorous punctuality stats so I can see if punctuality has indeed improved as much as I think ? |
