News: Passengers asked to wear masks at some UK airports

<p>The airports are the first in the UK to ask their passengers to wear face coverings.</p>
<p>Passengers are being encouraged to bring their own gloves and face coverings or face masks to the airport.</p>
<p>However, in the early stages of the pilot, for those arriving without, the airport will provide gloves and masks that can be worn throughout passengers’ time in the airport.</p>
<p>Staff will also be on hand to guide passengers and help them navigate through the usual security processes while wearing protective equipment.</p>

<p>All staff colleagues serving passengers will wear gloves and face masks from today, and all staff working for airport partners will be encouraged to.</p>

News: Virgin Atlantic to offer passenger services from next month
<p>Virgin Atlantic has announced its plan to restart passenger flying. </p>
<p>Services from London Heathrow to Orlando, Hong Kong, Shanghai, New York JFK and Los Angeles set to resume from July 20th onward.</p>
<p>As countries around the world start to relax travel restrictions, Virgin Atlantic will be steadily increasing passenger flying throughout the second half of 2020.</p>
<p>A further, gradual recovery is planned through 2021 in line with customer demand.</p>
<p>Juha Jarvinen, chief commercial officer, Virgin Atlantic, commented: “As the Covid-19 crisis stabilises and demand slowly returns, we are looking forward to welcoming our customers back onboard and flying them safely to their favourite destinations.</p>
<p>“To ensure the health and safety of our customers and our people, we’re introducing new measures at every point in the journey to offer peace of mind when taking to the skies with us.”</p>
<p><img src="https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/images/uploads/airline/Virgin_Atlantic_-_Covid-19_-_NS_1.jpg" alt="" height="2200" width="3300"/><br/><b>New Covid-19 safety measures will be introduced as flights return</b></p>
<p>Jarvinen added: “Our planned first flights will be to Orlando and Hong Kong on the July 20th, however, we are monitoring external conditions extremely closely, in particular the travel restrictions many countries have in place including the 14-day <a href=" https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/...from-june/" target="_blank">quarantine</a> policy for travellers entering the UK. </p>
<p>“We know that as the Covid-19 crisis subsides, air travel will be a vital enabler of the UK’s economic recovery. </p>
<p>“Therefore, we are calling for a multi-layered approach of carefully targeted public health and screening measures, which will allow for a successful and safe restart of international air travel for passengers and businesses. </p>
<p>“We are planning to announce more destination restart dates in the next two weeks for the month of August.”</p>
<p>Virgin Atlantic revealed <a href="https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/virgin-atlantic-to-close-gatwick-base/" target="_blank">plans</a> to cut jobs at close its base at London Gatwick last month as it prepares to re-emerge as a smaller airline in the post-Covid-19 world.</p>
<p><b>More Information</b></p>
<p>To ensure the health and safety of staff and customers, Virgin Atlantic is implementing additional measures to offer peace of mind in the airport and when taking to the skies. </p>

News: American reveals latest increase in capacity
<p>American Airlines is getting ready for summer travel by restoring more flights and re-opening key Admirals Club lounges. </p>
<p>In the best day for aviation since March, <a href="https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/middle-eastern-carries-return-to-more-cities/" target="_blank">Emirates</a>, <a href="https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/middle-eastern-carries-return-to-more-cities/" target="_blank">Etihad</a> and <a href="https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/virgin-atlantic-to-offer-passenger-services-from-next-month/" target="_blank">Virgin Atlantic</a> all outline similar plans. </p>
<p>In response to improving demand for air travel, American said it was planning to fly 55 per cent of its domestic schedule and nearly 20 per cent of its international schedule in July compared to the same period last year.</p>
<p>Systemwide capacity amounts to approximately 40 per cent of July 2019 flying.</p>
<p>By the last week of May, the airline carried a daily average of about 110,000 customers per day — an increase of 71 per cent over the approximately 32,000 average daily customers the airline served in April.</p>
<p>Compared to the spring, American is increasing frequency of flying from hubs, including Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) to destinations customers are searching and booking most, with increased flying to major cities in Florida, Gulf Coast cities as well as mountain destinations. </p>
<p>The airline also increased frequency of flying to Asheville, North Carolina (AVL), Savannah, Georgia (SAV), and Charleston, South Carolina (CHS) for business and leisure travellers.</p>
<p>“We’re seeing a slow but steady rise in domestic demand. </p>
<p>“After a careful review of data, we’ve built a July schedule to match,” said Vasu Raja, American senior vice president of network strategy. </p>
<p>“Our July schedule includes the smallest year-over-year capacity reduction since March. </p>
<p>“We’ll continue to look for prudent opportunities to restore service so our customers can travel whenever and wherever they are ready.”</p>
<p>While international demand continued to be diminished, today marked the return of service to eight international destinations. </p>
<p>These include service from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to Amsterdam (AMS), Paris (CDG) and Frankfurt (FRA), as well as service from Miami (MIA) to Antigua (ANU) in the Caribbean and Guayaquil (GYE) and Quito (UIO) in South America. </p>
<p>American also restored additional service to London (LHR) from Chicago (ORD) and New York (JFK).</p>
<p>American will delay the return of some previously announced international routes - including transatlantic service from Philadelphia (PHL) and CLT - to August. </p>
<p>The carrier will also begin reopening Admirals Club lounges in phases, beginning June 22nd, after making improvements to adapt the clubs and product offerings to reinforce the well-being of customers and everyone who works in the clubs.</p>
<p>Locations in Charlotte, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York will be among the first to reopen.</p>
