Your flights are likely to get more expensive as nearly 200 UK and Europe airports face closure

FLYING to Europe may get much more expensive for Brits, as nearly 200 airports across the UK and Europe face going bust.The drop in passenger number has put nearly 200 airports at riskWhile airports remain open, their usual capacity has plummeted, following a disappointing summer season due to last minute travel restrictions and quarantine rules.

According to the Airports Council International Europe , who represent airport operators, 193 of the 740 airports in Europe are facing "insolvency in the coming months" unless passenger numbers increase again. Fears that this is unlikely come as a second wave sweeps Europe, and may countries including France, Spain and Portugal remain off the list for Brits.

While ACI Europe haven't named the airports, they implied the smaller, regional airports are more at risk. If there are fewer airports open for commercial flights, this means air carriers may be forced to end flight routes - and can bump fares prices much higher.Credit: Alamy Live NewsAirports and airlines have been forced to cut jobs due to the pandemicDestinations such as the Canary Islands remain cheap due to the number of airlines which fly there, such as Jet2, TUI, easyJet and Ryanair, whereas other destinations which are operated by one carrier are often pricier.

They mite be to start off with but other investors will start these companies up again once the market starts to rise so one mans loss is another mans gain so what is the point of the headline 🤔

If they get too expensive people simply won’t go.

I’d rather walk anyway

For better service and a pleasant experience it may well be worth it

200 million-year-old fish fossil is set to sell for £50,000 at auctionThe coelacanth fish was thought to have been extinct for almost 70 million years, until it was discovered at an open-air market in 1938. 200 million years is a really big number. I’d buy it in one case, if i know a way to use it to prove the theory of evolution, which inherently disprove religion and the existence of god. In which case at least 80% of world problems will immediately vanish. Is it edible? LOL.
