Gatwick chiefs are involved and flight orders will return to pre-pancemic levels until 2025, as coronavirus continues to severely affect the aviation industry.
The number of passengers at West Sussex airport fell by two-thirds in the first part of 2019, from 22.2 million to 7.5 million, announced today.
The industry was paralyzed this year because the non-essential was banned at the height of the Covid crisis.
Only another 200,000 people visited UK airports in April, May and June, and thousands had to cancel their holiday and remain on the blockade.
The opening of air bridges to dozens of countries around the world in recent weeks saw a six-fold increase in air traffic in July, with 1.3 million arrivals being only one-tenth of the number of flights to Britain 12 months earlier.
However, a ray of hope was given to Gatwick, who also announced a 61.3% drop in revenue and a loss of 321 million pounds, while Wizz Air had announced the opening of a new base at the airport.

Gatwick’s announcement comes amid a difficult time for the aviation industry when:
The number of passengers arriving at UK airports increased to 1.3 million in July, up from 200,000 in April, May and June.
But the increase in arrivals last month is only one-tenth of the number of other people who flew to Britain in July last year.
The figures published through the Ministry of the Interior are a misinterpretation of the aviation industry.
After Gatwick announced the loss of six hundred jobs, the number of passengers shows that the number of arrivals through July 2019 has dropped by 89%.
Approximately 11.1 million other people flew to UK airports thirteen months ago, up from 1.3 million last month.
Heathrow Airport is one of the hardest hit, with only 867,000 people crossing West London Airport last month, up from 7.7 million at the same time last year.
Summer holidays were expected to give a special twist to the industry suffering, but quarantine measures delayed the holiday.
Gatwick Airport is consistent with approximately 20 cents capacity and approximately 75 cents of its capacity.
Last week, cheap airline easyJet announced the closure of its Stansted, Southend and Newcastle bases in a price effort, with Ryanair reducing its flight capacity to one-fifth.
BA, which is the world’s largest operator of the Boeing 747, described the 747-400 as an ‘extremely reliable’ performance enhancer that has the highest reliability and incorporated primary aerodynamic innovations over the latest 747 models, which have a 50-year history.
The life of the aircraft began in April 1970 when BOAC, which would then merge with BEA to shape the airline today, received its first Boeing 747-100, which the 23 built through Boeing, according to its line number.
The BOAC then received 14 more aircraft over the next 3 years, and the aircraft was delivered in December 1973.

None of those early models fly today. Most were discarded, a handful of them were stored and BA’s first 747 left the fleet in October 1998, aviation editor Simple Flying reports.
Following the merger of BOAC and BEA, all 15 Boeing 747s were transferred to British Airways on 1 April 1974. BA received 4 747-100, bringing the total length of the fleet to 19.
On 18 February 1991, The British Airways Boeing 747-100 was destroyed in Kuwait during the Gulf War, fitting the only BA 747-100 affected by a hull loss remaining with the airline.

The Boeing 747-400 is the most familiar BA style today, and is the only guy still in service with British Airways today. Ba’s first 747-400 was delivered in June 1989 and flew with the standard-bearer for about 30 years.
British Airways has announced that its fleet of Boeing 747 aircraft, affectionately known as the ‘Queen of Heaven’, would most likely have flown its last scheduled advertising service.

But the pandemic, which saw the world’s maximum stranded during the 3-month component, has accelerated its adventure into retirement, especially as meteorologists expect the number of passengers to remain below normal, potentially in the coming years.
BA’s predecessor, BOAC, had first used the 747 in 1971 and, as with many airlines, the aircraft, affectionately known as the ‘jumbo jet’ or the ‘queen of heaven’, has become a symbol of the new era of mass for all. and every corner of the globe.

There have been more than 1,500 jumbos produced through Boeing, and this has been a good advertising fortune for the manufacturer and airlines.
But its heyday is in the afterlife and any view of the jet, with its unique blow on top, is now a rarity. It is believed that only 30 aircraft are in service lately, with 132 in stock.
