Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond (11th April)

11/04/2021 by Kevincm

It’s that time of the week again when I look I what I didn’t write and ponder the meaning of the world.

Yes, it’s Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.

Testing, Testing.

  • American Airlines to launch “Quarantine Free flights” to Italy – Another option to Italy

Routes and Networks

  • Wizz Air Abu Dhabi opens bookings for its Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi route – Commences 18th April, Daily from 1st May
  • British Airways CityFlyer to launch flights to Jersey and Gibraltar – Two new routes, twice a week from City Airport
  • Jet2 and Jet2 Holidays continue operations suspension – It seems the Government Global Travel Taskforce report isn’t good. Or intelligent. Or makes any sense

What do you do with Airbus A350s?

  • Lufthansa to covert an A350-900 into a Climate Research Aircraft – Well, that’s one use for an A350

Trains

  • South West Railway bids farewell to the Class 442 Wessex Electrics – and the Class 458 get a reprieve. Again.

  • Virgin Atlantic Airbus A330-300 arriving at London Heathrow Airport

Next Week

With major changes coming to lockdown in the UK coming Monday (and hairdressers opening… you don’t know how much that means to me), it’s all change. I’ll also be spending some time on the Global Travel Taskforce review (and the ongoing omnishambles from that).

Plus your usual mix of passenger experience, routes and networks, amongst other things.

Until then, stay safe out there!
