Gatwick is on life support. Especially if BA/IAG drops the 737 LOI. Tremendous number of ground personnel at EGKK have been put on the Govt redundancy scheme

Just a matter of time here for perm terminations.. closing hubs etc..
VIR's Las Vegas run just got put into jepardy. That's a daily from EGKK-KLAS in a B744, in which they are also axing the aircraft. That leaves their only direct service to KLAS from EGCC, and that isn't daily, plus is either a B744 or an A330.
If they move that EGKK service to EGLL, that puts them not only directly against BAW, but may not have the available slots for it. Quite a pickle indeed, as that EGKK-KLAS run is a huge money maker.

- Any industry that requires people to congregate in MOBS in enclosed spaces will FAIL in post-covid economy. That means Casinos (all of which closed for lockdowns ), Sport stadiums, and travel via enclosed tubes (trains, subways, and passenger aircraft). Don't expect a repeat of last season's money-making ? air flights to Las Vegas KLAS
