Corona virus and its effects on GLA

KLM are upguaging the AMS flight to the Embraer 190 from tomorrow. Booking engine shows upguage to B737-700 from 6th July.

This is a good sign that load factors are starting to return.

Yes, but it illustrates the long road ahead - no direct long-haul competition, minimal connecting long-haul competition

I can see Q4 passenger traffic struggling to get to 30% of last year and Q1 next year maybe getting to 50%-60%

Unfortunately AGS are still to report March and April figures to the CAA. They are the only one's outstanding for March, and 8 other airports are also outstanding for April. As at February, our 12-month figure was 8.8m, so I would think we're probably down 1.5-2.0m since then. Good to see KLM having a bit of faith, but it's going to be a long, slow road to recovery.

I noted the builders have returned at the new manufacturing district project along the Abbotsinch Rd today. Although two builders stooped over a large kerb stone about 10 inches apart and with no facial protection, wasn't awfully impressive. And a half built Starbucks drive in near me in Paisley is underway again too.

Do you know what the 2 or 3 new drive through eateries under construction are at the Phoenix opposite Burger King?

Let me know when someone does a drive thru mince n' totties...

You could be on to something there Allen.

I know one of them is a Taco Bell, thats the only one I care about tbh

Fantastic. Their Crunchwrap Supreme’s are heavenly. That’ll be lunch sorted when I’m working in the area.

Presume Starbucks is one of the others as everything is already close by.

Starbucks already opposite Asda filling station

I take it Starbucks getting built opposite the Range in Paisley?

Aye that’ll be the one Allen was talking about. Costa then for The Phoenix?

Slight thread drift but I’m sure we could somehow tentatively link all this to Corona v GLA.
