not happening im afraid. Airline IT System migrations take months (somtimes years) of planing, they are often interlinked with other systems and are expensive.
Little chance of the Board signing anything off on this scale in 2021 |
but as you’ve said, years of planning so maybe the budget had already been signed off on and the project allowed to proceed. They could be in the final stages where it would cost more to stop the roll out than not. 👍🏻

We got our Win7 PCs replaced with Win 10 last week. Does that count? 😁

You CAN’T say that !

When you practically own the oil supply and pay your cabin crew a grand a month, yes you can offer 5* for the price of 2!

On UK & European routes that's what they've been for the last 10 years - and the business about the food was pretty much the final straw |
It's that bad QR have invested millions in BA. Al Baker being Al Baker. Nothing to see here, move along.

Have BA and IAG made mistakes? Undoubtedly, but his comments about premium economy show how seriously they should be taken.
It would be an interesting counter-factual as to how the BA of 10 or 20 years ago would have survived this pandemic thus far. I suspect the stage where the Government had to step in and take an equity stake would have long passed. |
AL Baker loves the sound of his own voice - he makes some good points but he is a bit full of himself
|
When Air Arabia, IndiGo or Wizz start flying to dozens of airports from Doha.... then Al Baker might have a different viewpoint

Don't BA CC salaries start at around £1500 a month? Not a vast difference in the whole picture? |
New Routes
British Airways has today announced four new short-haul routes to Wroclaw (WRO) and Gdansk (GDN) in Poland, Riga (RIX) in Latvia and Cluj-Napoca (CLJ) in Romania.
01JUL-26SEP BA522 LHR0735 – WRO1045 Thu/Sun 32S BA523 WRO1135 – LHR1245 Thu/Sun 32S 02JUL-26SEP BA532 LHR1600 – GDN1910 Wed/Fri/Sun 32S BA533 GDN2000 – LHR2115 Wed/Fri/Sun 32S 02JUL-26SEP BA380 LHR1500 – RIX1940 Wed/Fri/Sun 32S BA381 RIX2030 – LHR2115 Wed/Fri/Sun 32S 02JUL-26SEP BA536 LHR0700 – CLJ1150 Wed/Fri/Sun 32S BA537 CLJ1240 – LHR1340 Wed/Fri/Sun 32S |
Does somebody at BA perhaps have advance info about which countries will be green, amber or red ?
Alternatively, is this aimed solely at the VFR and migrant labour market with the assumption that quarantine is a less relevant factor ? |
Flight numbers above aren't correct. Riga is BA379/380, Gdansk is BA532/533, Cluj BA536/537 and Wroclaw 522/523.

the latter I would wager |
There are seperate quarantine processes for seasonal agricultural workers living on farm.

Changed. RIX is BA380/1. |
Good luck beating WZZ on their own patch.

There are plenty of Poles in the UK who economically have done reasonably well for themselves. If 18 months ago you had walked around Canary Wharf at lunchtime, you would have seen quite a few suits with accents from eastern Europe.
Those that have money may well decide that they don't want the experience that is Luton and Wizz but still want a direct flight |
