As I write 6,900 aircraft in the air! Always in excess of 6,500 aircraft in the air, do the maths!
They were in a difficult situation, stop flying, leave millions stranded, or keep flying and try to get as many as possible home....a rock and a hard place comes to mind.....
I was amazed that after the outbreak in Wuhan 30 odd flights a day were taking off from there to all parts of the world for ‘at least’ three weeks! Crazy!
When you look at radar 24 there are so many flights all over Europe. Surely they should all be grounded except for flights approved by the government’s? It’s very easy to see how this virus is being spread
I know it’s easy to say, but, they are ALL too late! Had this action had been implemented by ALL airlines a month or so ago the virus could have been restricted! Too late now!
The timing of this decision was made after a great deal of soul-sdearching and based on a full risk assessment. I am pretty sure they got it right.
