In the last few days, the tender process has opened for the London to Newquay PSO. Notably, the tender is for 2 years and not the usual 4. This should make it more tempting for BA given that they don’t anticipate a recovery before 2023. The application closes on 30th November.

It's completely ridiculous. They called up the PAX to board at the rear first before the plane was ready and people to embark, they then made them stay in the holding area without social distancing (which was okayish prior to going from departures to the gate). To top it off, they then called the rest of the plane to board and still, no one was able to actually board and it did become a free for /QUOTE]
They did this when it was Flybe - called a whole load of people to board before the plane was ready and then made them squish into the holding area. One you used the flight often you got used to just sitting it out and boarding at the end.

If BA do get the PSO though, I imagine they’ll fill the gap and continue flights between the end of the old PSO and start of the new one.
If it’s a new airline then they’ll be no flights between 24th Feb and 27th March.

Interesting to note that newquay seems to be doing a good job rebuilding the network after the demise of flybe.
Today has seen the highly successful Manchester route picked up by two airlines. Eastern will start in October flying a limited schedule and then loganair join the party in March.
as for the pso. My suspicion is that BA might well tender, especially considering two daily flights for two years is fairly easy to achieve and make use of slots. Even if they flew one to LHR and one to LGW or LCY.

From what I’ve read, I can’t find any specific details on how many flights per day are needed.

Anybody travel on the BA1350 on Friday 24 September receive a email from NHS track and trace saying they’d been in close contact with someone tested positive for covid 19 and the need to self isolate until 9 Oct?

So first time for some years Nqy will have two aircraft on stand at the same time tomorrow morning
agreed with previous poster, it’s a tad dicey here today but very much doubt it would be outside operating limits of the airbus
