PPT continue to send you all our best wishes during these times of uncertainty 
 
However, some good news after days of anticipation from the UK government 
 
The 14 day quarantine period has just been lifted, from late next week, for several countries 
 
This means that you can now travel out of and back into the UK and NOT have to self isolate. 
 
The countries on the list will be "under constant review" and may change at any time 
 
So, you can fly and use all the major UK airports almost "as usual" 
 
Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton and all airports will have well signed information posts along with hand sanitisation stations. Facemasks will be mandatory at all global airports and whilst you are on the plane. 
 
Take care and stay safe. Get back flying and traveling, for business and pleasure and the global economy !!! 
 
Stay safe 
Keep well 
Look after yourselves 
 
With so much negative news over the last 12 weeks or so (which of course is understandable), a little bit of positive news is starting to appear 
 
British Airways were talking about leaving Gatwick airport after decades of use. Now reports are suggesting BA are going to resume flights from Gatwick in the middle of July . This is great news for all concerned. 
 
Already Easyjet, Ryanair and other operators are starting to release dates and destinations that will restart soon 
 
Several European countries that have also been hit hard by coronavirus have started to reopen for business, and HOPEFULLY the UK government will NOT extend the 14 day quarantine at the end of June 
 
Lets all hope that Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and all UK airports and aviation travel and businesses around the world start to return to a decent level FOR ALL OUR SAKES !!! 
 
Stay safe 
Keep well 
Look after yourselves 
 
The aviation industry were looking forward to another busy year at the start of 2020. 
We all know what happened only a few weeks in, but who could have foreseen the deep and far reaching consequences for the global economy and people's health ? 
 
With the sudden and abrupt halt of air travel, in a bid to help stay in business, most airliners are cutting costs and retiring several of their aircraft EARLY, as well as postponing or cancelling future orders for new aircraft 
 
Where do they go ? 
 
Their are several airplane "graveyards", the most famous being "The Boneyard" in Tuscon, Arizona. 
 
Here the aircraft are either stored, dismantled for spares or scrapped 
A very sad ending for aircraft with years of faithful service 
 
Hopefully the next blog will be more cheerful......... 
 
Stay safe 
How sad to see Rolls Royce engines having to make 9000 staff redundant 
 
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 ! 
Here we are, just over a month into lockdown and things are at a standstill. 
 
Airports and airlines are quiet, holidays and business trips cancelled, who knows when things will start to improve ??? 
 
All that matters is that we stay safe, look after ourselves and each other and hope things start to improve 
 
So much negative news around at the moment, so I'm not going to add to it !!! 
 
Look after yourselves 
Stay safe 
PPT Premier Passenger Transfer 
What terrible times we are in at the moment 
 
Who would have thought at the turn of the new decade, the world would be as it is today ? 
 
I'm going to keep it short this month, as we all have more than ENOUGH on our plates, but next month I expect to talk at length regarding the impact on the aviation industry and in particular the UK airports, including Heathrow and Gatwick 
 
Stay safe, stay positive and look after yourselves 
So, keen to show us their green credentials, Boris and his new government have announced no more petrol, diesel or hybrid vehicles will be allowed to be purchased new from 2035 
 
This is a bold move, one I'm sure will have the greens dancing in the car free streets (if they had their way !) 
 
However, although I agree with cleaning the environment, it's the motor industry and employees I feel sorry for. 
I'm very lucky to have taken delivery of my new car, at the end of last year. 
This is a brand new top of the range VW Passat, with Nappa leather and air conditioning. This is my sixth new Passat and customers find them very roomy and comfortable - perfect for airport transfers and long journeys 
 
If you are planning any foreign travel, however far in advance, please remember it's never too early to book your airport transfer. In fact, the sooner the better
