Due to the persistently low demand, which is also due to the strict entry and quarantine regulations of the United Kingdom, British Airways will temporarily suspend the entire offer at London Gatwick Airport. Across the route network, significantly more machines are to remain on the ground in November 2020.
"This means far fewer flights than we had hoped for in November and means landing more of our planes, including the interruption of all flights from Gatwick until December," Sky News quoted from an internal letter to employees. Short-time working is therefore to be expanded. Around 80 percent of the labor costs are covered by the British government. This recently announced that the program should continue until at least March 2021. British Airways will offer a minimal program in winter 2020/21.
