However, and unsurprisingly, they don't mention cancellations and refunds for flights already booked to already 'closed' destinations nor do they point out that the 'new' fare is likely to be much higher than the original. As far as I am aware they haven't cancelled anything yet meaning these people who have aleady bought tickets are, it seems, not being given much choice.

There have already been moans and groans on social media about new dates being considerably more expensive coupled with much Ryanair name calling due to the way they operate. Nobody ever learns do they?

They would be moaning and groaning if their bar or restaurant in Benidorm for example had gone under due to covid-19!

Thanks for all the updates tonight Ross.

 

[mdobuk21]

Are we expecting a Lauda motion A320?

 

[Finger66]

Don't want to sound too pessimistic but any May restart dates are a tad optimistic in my eyes. Early June is far more realistic

 

[lbaspotter]

Are we expecting a Lauda motion A320?

Correct If all goes to plan Laudamotion Airbus A320 operates 1x weekly Palma on Sundays between June 7th & October 18th 2020 as follows..

FR2327 = PMI 07:30 - LBA 09:15 / FR2326 = LBA 09:40 - PMI 13:15

Hence the very last sentence in my post.*The service restart dates listed are all subject to change.

I know all businesses, including airlines need to maximise their income/revenue but stating unrealistic start dates is equally not the way forward. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing more I would like than airlines to be able to resume services in May, and I/we shouldn't be saying they won't but we have to be brutally realistic about the situation we find ourselves in and social distancing will be here until at the very least the end of May, so cramming 189 people into a B737-800 before that date is just not achievable. Unless some form of being allowed to carry one pax on each side of every row, e.g. 1A, 1F etc. or something similar becomes allowed then that would give some revenue. But you still have social distancing within the airport building and general boarding to manage. Not impossible I suppose, but a major headache. We need to defeat COVID19 in one go and not risk starting a second wave. This situation hurts!
