The way the loads are I doubt BHX will stay as a 77W.

I think we will see the A388 back sooner than you think

But things are moving fast put there.

Lets keep the 77W for at least half the flights please. Good news but lets make sure cargo is not harmed by increasing without thinking.

If anything I'm sure the pandemic has highlighted the importance of cargo and how lucrative that market is!

With the announcement that United Arab Emirates will be added to the list of countries which will require returning travellers to self isolate for 10 days from January 12th, I wonder if Emirates will reduce their schedule for a while?

 

[Ray Finkle]

It wouldn't surprise me if they did.

I guess it may come down to whether they are carrying enough freight to make the flights viable.

 

[HPsauce]

Very true. The freight is so important particularly at the moment. Fingers crossed they will keep up the schedule.

They are dropping back to 5 weekly

Hi there Nethercote2019, how are you.

 

[CL44]

Looks like the 039/040 is a victim of the latest government decision. Passenger freighters into LHR / MAN but nothing into BHX / GLA.

 

[RichL]

Don’t know why I’m not surprised.

 

[rollo]

Reported on the Emirates website and elsewhere all UK operations suspended from 1300 hrs today, believe its short term while new restrictions finalised.

 

[IanFarquharson]

BHX / GLA - canx until further notice

LHR - 3 per day pax freighter

MAN - 5 per week pax freighter

 

[KARFA]

From 1300 today they will not be allowed to operate with passengers in to England, so any flights arriving will have to be cargo only. They will still be allowed to take passengers on the return to DXB.

 

[RichL]

Got to get all these YouTube influencers back somehow...

 

[Nethercote2019]

One of my friends has been working in Dubai & was booked on today’s flight anyway & luckily & said it was completely full .... unsurprisingly

 

[Brum X]

So all these people/celebs thinking it is cool to show off on social media about being in Sunny Covid free Dubai have managed to shut the place down. Yeah great peeps, great job done everybody.



I hope you all have to self isolate for 2 weeks in a horrible airport hotel

#karma

 

[KARFA]

I am afraid no karma unfortunately as there is no hotel quarantine yet, there isn't a start date for the scheme.

It would be self isolation at home for 10 days, as will all international arrivals at the moment.

EK planning to restart on 1st May now
