Today we remember the pilots, crew, passengers and members of the public who lost their lives 20 years ago. Our thoughts go to those still affected by the tragedy

[Mike Yardley @YardleyShooting]

If you've not looked at these official figures for reported post Astra Zeneca deaths & reactions, you should. This is not wacky conspiracy site, this is official reporting data, and it's shocking. 885 deaths & 732K reactions (these are just ones reported). https://t.co/KbUzuNhSO5

Flights between the UK and EU have no legal basis to continue beyond 31 Dec 2020 in the event of a no-deal Brexit, @grantshapps has conceded.
Brussels must act, says the transport secretary.
"We expect the EU to bring forward contingency measures."

What is ‘Freedom of the Air’?

The freedoms of the air are a set of commercial aviation rights granting a country's airlines the privilege to enter and land in another country's airspace.

Passenger & cargo flights may be subject to different laws.

British Airways says it is burning through £20 million every day and needs to cut costs to survive. The biggest shareholder in IAG (which owns BA) has just told Sky News it is willing to put more money into the airline group.

BALPA's response to the @CommonsTrans report in full: https://t.co/tBmT8F9FRA

[Joel Hills @ITVJoel]

Union source says @HeathrowAirport hopes 1,200 of its 7,000 staff will apply for voluntary severance scheme. In a statement, airport says: “our priority has been to protect jobs but this is getting more difficult to sustain.” Aims to cut costs “without the need” for redundancies.

@realPaulHaworth @Jacob_Rees_Mogg @HuwMerriman @British_Airways Here’s a letter I signed with @UKLabour @WelshLabour colleagues weeks ago to Willie Walsh @British_Airways raising concerns and opposing what is happening on behalf of affected constituents and trade unions representing the workforce

[Joel Hills @ITVJoel]

New: It has repeatedly been claimed that BA is threatening to fire and rehire its entire UK workforce. That was not the case, it now is. BALPA has just told pilots BA proposes 1) more redundancies and 2) to terminate the employment of those who remain unless they accept new ts&cs

[Joel Hills @ITVJoel]

CEO of IAG (owns British Airways) is not afraid of conflict. He has openly fallen out with the Chair of @CommonsTrans and two of the three unions which represent BA’s staff. Now also considering legal action against government over quarantine rules. Next week will be fascinating

[Huw Merriman @HuwMerriman]

Opening in House of Commons during an impassioned session on #aviation, #Quarantine and redundancies from #BritishAirways and other companies. Thanks to all colleagues, and the Minister, for signalling support to sector and workforce.

[Joel Hills @ITVJoel]

This is very intriguing. I’m told that British Airways is refusing to attend a meeting with @pritipatel and @kellytulhurt this afternoon to discuss the introduction of quarantine rules. BA argues the rules will “seriously setback” its recovery. (1/2)
