It's so sad, that these highly qualified engineers that help design and build engines for not only the aviation industry, but also for other industries including the military are going to lose their jobs. 

 

With Gatwick airport possibly losing British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, (and 12000 and 3000 job losses respectively), the impact of Covid 19 is really now beginning to hit the airline industry. 

 

The UK government has announced their intention to introduce a 14 day quarantine from June 8th. Personally, I don't understand why they didn't introduce this much earlier. This will realistically only further the delay of business for the airports and ultimately the global economy, whereas if it had happened earlier, the airports could have possibly opened sooner. 

 

Let's all hope that as soon as it's safe, Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and Birmingham airport AND ALL OTHER AIRPORTS and ports can get operating and the world can get moving again. 

 

Stay safe !
