Due to the blockade, QR lost 11% of its network and saw a 20% slump in revenues.

I wonder how BA has become short of planes - they do seem late to order so sounds like desirable tactics perhaps v strategy.

BA / IAG have A320/1neo's on order which have been delayed, BA could get their first NEO next month ? I think they also picked up some of Monarchs Gatwick slots, so new routes to open quickly ! |

Aircraft and ships from all countries are free to fly or sail to or from Qatar, and the traffic actually is very important. By contrast, a blocade would be a situation in which enemies would threaten to sink any ship or down any aircraft flying or sailing to or from Qatar. We are very far from such a situation. What Qatar is facing is a ban from using some of its neighbours' air space and territorial waters. |

According to a post in a Facebook Group A320-211, Air Canada, C-FDQQ (MSN 059) is the oldest A320 currently actively flying.
