Next Week
With regulations ever-changing -especially with UK Border opening up, we’ll keep an eye on the changes, as well as the capacity that is starting to fly here.
In addition, we’ll be covering our usual mix of passenger experience, routes and networks news and of course, the ongoing trip report.
