Return on air travel (Upcoming travel movement & airshow for Summer/Autumn 2020)

Air travel is starting to come back to life in Europe. It means my upcoming travels are going to restart this Summer into Autumn this year. 

August

This August will be making another trip to Amsterdam, The Netherlands since my last travel was back in January from The Netherlands before the lockdown started months later. For something different from my recent flight report, this will be a Covid edition. Since London Gatwick, UK is currently changing it's flights for British Airways moving it's slots to London Heathrow, this will be an Easyjet Europe flight.  This will also include outbound back to Gatwick. I've recently bought a brand new DSLR camera from Canon we'll see how spotting photos will come up with.

 Their will be no quarantine to arrive in The Netherlands from the UK. 

If you may remember I was originally going to travel to Newark, USA unfortunately, United Airlines has cancelled my flight due to high cases of Covid-19. The current travel to the United States remains an amber warning. So my Newark flight is postponed to next year. 

September/October

I'll be heading home to Malta to attend Malta International Airshow 2020. With good news from the Maltese Government starting back in 1st July few flights have already restarted. UK will re-start next week with no quarantine required. This will include a flight report for Covid-19 edition on travelling into Malta from Bournemouth, UK only. At the beginning of October will be heading back to London Gatwick, UK so I will include my experience of Malta International Airport in this current situation. 

Airshows

Sadly for upcoming airshows that's close to my area for Farnborough International Airshow 2020 and Bournemouth Air Festival 2020 is cancelled in the UK due to Covid-19 & fears on social distancing and encase of high positive cases. This includes all airshows in Britain are cancelled. 

And you just heard, Malta International Airshow 2020 is giving a go ahead at Malta International Airport and an unknown location. Smart City will not be doing aerobatic display. their still currently thinking somewhere up north of Malta. We're still waiting on which aircraft will be attending this year.
