Derek Provan ain’t happy on STV tonight, can understand it puts Scottish airports at a significant disadvantage.
Aye for 10 days. Happily it makes us that bit safer as Spain has a higher prevalence of the virus.
Currently Scotland has something like 28 infectious people per 100k. Unfortunately Spain currently has more than 10 times that.
But no one in Scotland can dodge the need to quarantine by flying into an English airport because Scot Gov are going to use the raw passenger information.
Perhaps Derek should be glad we are doing this properly and aiming for complete eradication so that everything can safely get back to normal sooner.
If standby grave diggers can be stood down that can only be a good thing IMO.
The Scot Gov havent checked on anyone arrivng into the country so far. so how they reckon they will suddenly be able to check people arriving into England is a joke.
Also the number of covid tests they are carrying out in Scotland is low, they really dont have a clue how many cases there are.
This is bad news for the aviation industry in Scotland, basically shutting off their biggest market, just as a points scoring excersise.

Things are sounding grim at Emirates right now. A380 crews being particularly affected by lay offs, and reports of suicides emerging. What this means for GLA remains to be seen.
That’s one if my worries Allen. Once the redundancies hit, they’ll hit hard. More so where more than one person in a single household is impacted. Grim doesn’t begin to state how brutal this is going to be.
We are on a cliff edge and this time, unlike any previous company collapse, there is nowhere to go.

No Jet2 departures today combined with no easyJet or TUI Airways highlights the fragility of the restart to the outbound holiday market
Indeed only one non UK/Ireland flight today (Ryanair from/to Charleroi)
Increasingly I doubt that we will see the planned schedule increases over the next few months - and if they do happen loads & yields will be very low / negative (most easyJet single domestic fares over the next 2-3 months are below £25)
The Scottish Government are set to announce that the 14-day quarantine requirement for people arriving from Spain is to be lifted. No further details as yet but good news all round.
