Airport in Lod, Israel, is really unsettling. I hope everyone is safe and that the situation resolves quickly and peacefully. I also hope that this doesn't lead to further escalation of violence between

Ah yes, remember when IAG was downplaying the need for government support in the hope that
@VirginAtlantic
would go under?
Meanwhile, there was indeed government support to retain a full complement of staff in the shape of the furlough scheme
So,
@British_Airways
is suffering a major IT outage that has forced the airline to issue a worldwide ground stop.
• The BA website is completely inaccessible
• Check-in systems are down
• Pilots can't access weight and balance systems
• Second IT outage in less than a week
From January 8, 2023:
• No quarantine of health code for China international arrivals
• Travellers must test PCR negative within 48 hrs of departure
• Face masks must still be worn onboard airplanes
This really is something from
@wizzair
chief executive József Váradi. He appears to suggest that pilots should fly fatigued.
@EASA
says fatigue "is one of the main factors affecting human performance"
Deficient safety culture alert!
@WizzAir
CEO encourages pilots to fly fatigued! It’s like handing the car keys to a drunk driver.
@EASA
step in! You are WIZZ’ oversight authority…

I think it's a little disingenuous to equate shopping with traveling. Grocery shopping is essential, whereas travelling (in the vast majority of cases) is not.
@alastairjam
British airways spokesperson tells me:
• Categorically NOT a cyberattack
• Back up check-in system now online
• Flights should be departing
@KayBurley
Kay, individual airlines are responsible for deicing operations. Direct your query towards the airline with which you are flying.
You are a role model.. please take that responsibility seriously and consider your choice of language.

A government calling a neighbour’s pandemic policies ‘discriminative’ really is something.
They must have very short term memories at the HKSAR government
@AlexInAir
Pre-pandemic, an airline would sell tickets to destinations that required visas. It has, and will always be, the responsibility of the passenger to ensure they meet the entry requirements of their destination before booking tickets
Heads up: the transit train at

terminal 5 is out of service so if travelling from LHR T5, you’ll need to walk to your gates if departing from B or C satellites
Urgh, these amenity kits are such a waste! Why does anyone travelling in Business Class need a 'keepsake' mirror or a nasty plastic comb that used to be all the rage for tweens in the 1990s?
Sorry, I've been a bit tied up today. May I just take a moment to salute the...
Firefighters
Police Officers
Paramedics
Counsellors
Child carers (both young and adult)

@EtihadAirways
is now allowing its female cabin crew to wear trousers... it's the first time in the airline's 16-year history that women flight attendants haven't had to wear a skirt.

There seems be some confusion about yesterday’s decision being made on a set of criteria. This is simply wrong. Yesterday’s decision was purely political.

Oops,

This shouldn't have an impact on flight operations... aside from passengers have no idea what gate to go to.
@HeathrowAirport
Also get the info situ sorted, for the love of Jesus. If I’m to pay 8 billion quid to
@leonrestaurants
for a box of bobbins at least let me know what fecking gate I need to hike to
Had a medical emergency today on my flight and a lady just popped up out of nowhere begging for us to allow her to perform acupuncture and administer essential oils. I’m not paid enough to deal with this.
