Barbados currently has very few cases. At the time they left it had none. The schedule to Barbados was operating normally till a few days ago. They have now been moved on to a flight arriving back this Saturday AM. Personally I did not think they should have gone. You can take a horse to water but......

I’m hearing more and more from ex-colleagues that BA will stop all passenger operation, leaving only Freighter flights with bulk goods in the hold and smaller boxes on seats, covered with netting. (There are a few photos around of such configs, see for instance Lufthansa, Austrian or Neos’ flights to China).
I should point out that this is nothing but a rumour, I have no timescales for that but it’s been repeated by 3 contacts in Ops who don’t know or work with each other.

They have already closed their airspace. The only flights actually still going in and out are BA flights as BA did a special deal with the Kenyan Government to get Brits home. No other flights are operating. There is a 7pm Curfew in Kenya as well which means you have to be at the airport by 7pm to catch the BA64 which is over 5 hours later!

I doubt that. LHR and LGW likely to stay open for cargo flights. I suspect a good number of the fleet will have cargo in the passenger cabin as well.

Looking at FR24 last night, the aircraft that operated what would have been a domestic night stop flight positioned back to LHR, and looking at the flight status page on BA.com today it now appears that there are no domestic night stop flights.

As another date point, had booked flight for my brother with Avios LHR-GOT for 22nd April, text and email yesterday saying that the route will no longer operate from 5th April.
So I assume we will see a raft of SH route cancellations over the next week or so.
