About an hour ago, here's 5 of them....very odd....coronavirus or something else? Other airlines are still flying to Spain.

Something odd.

They cancelled the leasing of a third A333 from AirTanker yesterday.


Just In....TUI have pulled all flights to Spain.

Yes, there must be more to it than that. Commonsense says stop all further departures, drop off the pax for 14 days of isolation in Spain, bring back the infected pax and call it quits. One was actually south of Toulouse. Does not look good.

However, LBA departures board showing recent Jet2 departures to Las Palmas and Arrecife, but a few other cancellations. Presumably the Canaries still ok.

Did they have passengers outbound, or are they 'rescue flights'?

The following Jet2 flights are presently airborne southbound to Spain:
GLA-LPA
GLA-ALC
GLA-ACE
EMA-ALC
BHX-AGP
LBA-ALC
I think CPTN must be right - probably rescue flights

Belay the last post, LBA-ALC is live but still on the ground at LBA.
