If this does happen, and it is looking very likely at the moment. Obviously, this would completely kill leisure travel. I assume it will be brought into place in the coming weeks and who knows how long it will last, but surely it will last at least 3 - 4 months, meaning only an Autumn return to any form of leisure travel.

BA has it extremely tough now due to lockdown and many countries banning people from the UK entering. How does BA survive this? Does anyone think they can survive this? I know this is a BA forum, but also anyone in the UK working in the travel industry - how do they survive this?
Given that there shouldn't be any leisure travel, it shouldnt make an issue to it

Implementing a quarantine seems like finally a good idea but will , I expect, impact number of flights that BA will operate as , so called, essential trips become non-essential
