Flights from red list countries can only arrive at certain airports. Manchester is not one of them.Abbas Ali wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 12:33 pm Last Virgin Atlantic Manchester to Islamabad flight VS362 was operated on April 8.

Re: Pakistan to be Added in England Red List from April 9
There are a couple of reasons why the Manchester flights have been cancelled. I am currently in Pakistan and have a return leg booked with them which is likely to get cancelled.baberblues wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 2:05 pmDemand must've of dried up temporarily, lets hope come mid may, once the UK releases its holiday destinations list, and Pakistan is off the red list, there is some normality is services.Abbas Ali wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 12:33 pm Last Virgin Atlantic Manchester to Islamabad flight VS362 was operated on April 8.

Flights to and from Pakistan are only allowed from LHR. Therefore Virgin has had to temporarily suspend Manchester.
As Pakistan is in the red list countries, people flying back can only arrive at designated ports. Currently Manchester is NOT one of them. I reached out to Manchester airport and they said the home office decides on the ports and the quarantine hotels and there are no immediate plans for Manchester to be included.
Currently VA is cancelling one flight at a time and auto booking pax onto LHR. Pax do have the options for refund (which will be very low amount if the outbound leg has been used) or to postpone and chose a travel date until April 2023.

This is going to affect PIA that had arranged operation of chartered aircraft flights mainly between Islamabad and Manchester after EASA ban.

Passenger loads on BA & VS flights to Pakistan have significantly dropped to 5% - 15% both ways. BA & VS will be cancelling more flights to Pakistan in the coming days/weeks ahead.
Some have already been re scheduled for May.

Re: Pakistan to be Added in England Red List from April 9
Not surprised the loads are so low given the cost & prospect of hotel quarantine due to Pakistan being on the UKs red list of countries.
Flights are already being cancelled. Virgins Manchester and LHR flights and BAs LHR flight to/from Islamabad are all cancelled today.

Virgin Atlantic has cancelled all Man-Islamabad flights until 17.05.
This is also the earliest date that international travel will be permitted in the UK as part of the roadmap accounced by the UK government.
An announcement is due in early May as to where each country will be (green, amber or red) traffic light system.
At best Pakistan will move from red to amber (as supposed to red to green).

Very disappointing. All of us were expecting to be removed from the red list as India was being removed too. Many news outlets were also expecting the same result

If baffles me how indian covid has spread around the world however the UK whilst maintaining that they do not want to import variants of covid in, have opened up the doors to India. That is just absolutely moronic.

No. 1 i think the fact that we are using Chinese vaccine instead of the four being used in the US UK and Europe is hurting us.
No. 2 India is using the four vaccines that are being used in the UK
No. 3 Two top ministers in UK are of Indian origin.

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Sajid Javid is of Pakistani origin, but he has no jurisdiction or say over this
