People have been suggesting the same for this month but it certainly hasn’t happened. I’ve been watching the MLE (Maldives) flights and they are still at 9 a week. If people were cancelling, I would have expected BA to manage the reduced loads by reverting to 7 a week, but that hasn’t happened (yet).


Compare this to the total England lockdown in November, where BA pulled leisure destination flights quite rapidly, the Tier system seems to leave it to the individual to decide if they should fly and consequently more people seem to do be doing so.
The converse of this is that if flights get pulled then there are shed loads of people in the Maldives with no flight home ....
