BBC are quoting Easyjet who say they are considering grounding most of its fleet as cancellations increase daily.

The Northern runway at LHR is 3,900m long. That's enough to park just about 100 A320s wingtip to wingtip. With a more efficient △ ▽ style arrangement, maybe 50% more. Getting them on and off is obviously the challenge. But I don't think we would need to go there, plenty of taxiways at most airports to park aircraft.

The header of this thread should be changed to read "Every single European airline will be grounding their fleets", because that's the way we're headed. Fast. Next up will be the ME3, who'll find themselves absent of their largest market; if there's no shovelling of pax between Europe and Asia/Africa to be done, there's no market left to sustain EK, QR and EY. One may also safely add TK to that list. The staff with those airlines are probably the most exposed, as there's zero workers protection in those nations. At least in Europe, countries are thinking about how to prop up the employees, not just the owners.

The Canaries is now under a regime of 17 flight connections with the mainland daily thanks to restrictions requested by regional President Torres and agreed by Spanish PM Sánchez. Airports throughout Spain remain open, and today the Government has confirmed that it has no plans to close any airports at the moment.
