At last, the flights are resuming and everything should be back to normal within a week or two. When UK airports shut you know there is a problem and our stag dos are going nowhere, unless they are staying within the UK and travelling by other modes of transport.
So when the news broke that flights are to resume at 10pm last night there was a huge sigh of relief from the DesignaVenture team and the Travel Industry. Airlines will now be working 24/7 to get things back to normal, which will no doubt be chaotic to say the least.
There has been over 95,000 flights cancelled across Europe over the past week, Heathrow on a Wednesday in April usually handles 1,250 flights, this shows you the logistical problems the airlines face to get things back to normal.
Willie Walsh, British Airways Chief Executive said “We’re now at British Airways going to start the difficult task of getting our stranded customers back home, I think this is an airlift that is unprecedented but we will make every effort to get our people back home”.
