BA and Virgin still flying away!
How come BA are still flying to all these places especially USA? Flight to Lima launched off this morning? Are they just flying freight or are they still rescuing "expats" or confused travelers that are just realizing the magnitude of this virus?
There is still some very minimal pax activity but almost nil.
As for the incident reported here where did it happen?!

A number of BA's remaining flights are indeed operating with an F suffix (BA027F, BA099F, etc). So far, the BA295 and the corresponding return flight BA294 are operating without that suffix.

In our company at least, an F-suffix indicates a ferry flight, so cargo nor pax on board, which makes a difference in traffic rights etc.

In BA at least, the following apply.
C - Charter
E - Engineering
F - Freighter
P - Positioning (ferry flight)
T - Training
There might be a few I’ve missed out but that covers most of it. Often you won’t see these suffixes in the flight’s callsign though, just in the backend systems.
