we are in gatwick airport.here's been a fairly steady stream of travelers, but nothing like the normal level you have seen pre-pandemic. capacity is still a fraction of what it normally would be. that is what you also heard from those ceos, that they want to see more countries added to that green list, to be given the green light to be able to fly again. that is what is going to allow them to really get their bases -- their business back up and running. portugal is on that green list u.k. travelers can travel to and return from without having to quarantine. they are saying that once the -- that was to government is cautious, they want them to take into account the huge success of the vaccination campaign and to use that to allow aviation to get back up on its feet. they really can't see another washout summer. the summer of course is a huge time for them in terms of generating revenue, and if they lose that again, we could be in a very sticky situation for a number of airlines. we have already seen airlines hit

firstly i came back i through gatwick airport yesterday and tweeted a picture of it, it was empty. h more than they used to be. so we are starting to see the magic effects of the vaccinations and that means we should be able to travel much more widely, we can in fact come back into the country safely, and therefore that means there should be less testing if you are coming back from a green country which is on the greenest for a reason, because it's safe so i'm hoping some of these recommendations by the committee won't actually be needed in the next few weeks as restrictions are loosened. few weeks as restrictions are loosened-— few weeks as restrictions are loosened. . . , ., ~ , ., loosened. paul charles, thank you. if ou loosened. paul charles, thank you. if you would _ loosened. paul charles, thank you. if you would like _ loosened. paul charles, thank you. if you would like to _ loosened. paul charles, thank you. if you would like to let _ loosened. paul charles, thank you. if you would like to let me - loosened. paul charles, thank you. if you would like to let me know i if yo

steve joins us live from gatwick airport. steve, i did a segment a couple of weeks ago for cnbc.ically they see 50,000 passengers a day when we were there, it was 1,000 passengers how is that number going shape up and evolve over the summer? what are people telling you about the months ahead >> reporter: that was a 78% drop of passengers. they can handle 1,000 flights a year at gatwick. a lot of that carrying freight rather than individuals. we were talking to individuals earlier on and talking about the expansion of the green list being key to the future of the summer season and future of travel this year for gatwick there are high hopes that pete buttigieg can push ahead and get agreement on trans atlantic travel united and american and virgin are all pushing hard to get action on that front that is the most lucrative routes for north america, canada and the rest and let's be honest. no one will be going to the georgia. you can't go to new zealand or australia. we are talking about gibralter and iceland for travel this is a great day. we had really tough days on covid. i've cov

i spoke with the easyjet ceo and the gatwick airport ceo, and they say demand is high, they just needropean destinations added to the green list. jonathan: so many are confused about who is on the list and who is not. if you are at gatwick or heathrow, speaking to the big airlines, they would not be focusing on europe, they would wonder what on earth is going on with the london-new york corridor. have we learned anything about that whatsoever? emma: you're absolutely right. this is something that gatwick ceo addressed directly, saying 10% of flights from here are usually going to the u.s. and how important that route is. while they are writing for the likes of france, greece, and italy being added to the list, they really want north america to be edited as -- added as well. that would certainly be the case for heathrow. they say they are lobbying governments in direct conversations, really hoping they will take this risk-based approach, and look at vaccination levels not just here in the u.k. but also what is going on elsewhere to try to get the crucial routes open. important for tour

the ceo of cats with air support -- of gatwick airport spoke to us earlier today. >> vaccination ratesre happening across europe, and so long as the infection rates are falling, we very much expect to see more countries added to the green list as those lists are reviewed every three weeks. alix: emma chandra joins us now from gatwick. the green labeled countries are still very few on far between. only portugal really in mainstream europe. what are you noticing there? is it busy? emma: you're absolutely right, only portugal the main nation for u.k. tourists on that list. about half of those are still not accepting international tourists. as you heard there, they really need more countries added to that list. in europe, that means the likes of france, italy, spain and greece, really popular tourist destinations. he also talked about the transatlantic route, the flights from london going across to new york and other big cities in the u.s. and the caribbean. that is what is going to help this airport get closer to full capacity. we have seen a steady stream of travelers coming throughout t

the traveljournalist simon calder is at gatwick airport.some pretty strict rules, israel says we will see group tours may be at the end of may, the rest of you individual travels we will not need tilljuly. iceland, you have to turn up tilljuly. iceland, you have to turn up with your vaccination card if you want a fast track again thanks to the icelandic bye minister who said you can get in with your nhsjab card and! you can get in with your nhsjab card and i know not everyone who gets the jab gets a card and tomorrow we will find out what gibraltar is planning. before the green list was announced in downing street i bought a flight to faro which cost £1100 street i bought a flight to faro which cost e1100 and is nowjust over £500. t which cost £1100 and is now 'ust soo.�* which cost £1100 and is now 'ust over£500. ., ., , . ,., over £500. i asked about prices and gibraltar because _ over £500. i asked about prices and gibraltar because you _ over £500. i asked about prices and gibraltar because you only - over £500. i asked about prices and

emma chandra at london gatwick airport.safest asset is in a retreat that threatens to push yields for the first time in more than two years in the move has analysts willing to break an unwritten rule in global bond markets, never sure germany. our guest is still with us. i don't know how much he is clinging to that adage. but looking at german ten-year bunds, they seem to have stalled. but the path since the end of march seems to be that yields are moving toward the flatline. how long before we are talking about positive german bund yields? guest: i still think we are a little bit away. ultimately when you look at the economic forecast, we are still some way off. what we have been witnessing over the last six weeks or so is just the european reopening story. it is a very negative view about europe in the first half of the year. the vaccine rollout was not going well. the vaccine has picked up speed. we see german bund yields over perform. but there does come a point when it is deeply into negative territory, when you still

firstly, i came back through gatwick airport yesterday and i tweeted a picture of it, it was empty so at the possibility of creating specific red terminal so if you came back from a red country, you would be funnelled through that particular terminal at heathrow, lets hope that happens but more widely, i think there are now 15 million people in there are now 15 million people in the uk who have been vaccinated twice. the most vulnerable are protected. the data is showing certainly early data, is showing that vaccinations are preventing transmission much more than they used to be so we are starting to see the magic effects of the vaccinations. and that means we should be enabled to travel much more widely than we can in fact come back into the country safely and therefore, that means there should be less testing if you are coming back from a green country which is on the greenest for a reason, because it safe so i'm hoping some of these recommendations by the committee won“t of these recommendations by the committee won't actually be needed in the next few weeks as restrictions are loo

there is a balance, myself as a local constituency mp, close to gatwick airport, seeing the impact onny positives so we'll need to take responsibility because we all want to get back to normality as soon as possible. we have been very clear this is the summer of staycation and taking precautions around covid so we do not lose all the hard fought freedom we started to see coming back to as yesterday.— freedom we started to see coming back to as yesterday. thank you very much forjoining _ back to as yesterday. thank you very much forjoining us. _ back to as yesterday. thank you very much forjoining us. let _ back to as yesterday. thank you very much forjoining us. let us _ back to as yesterday. thank you very much forjoining us. let us catch i back to as yesterday. thank you very much forjoining us. let us catch up. much forjoining us. let us catch up with the sport. i have just had some breaking news, roy hodgson is leaving crystal palace. he said after more than 45 years of coaching, he has decided the time is right for him to step away from the rigours of top—flight football so his f

i know you have gatwick express and it is easy to get downtown as well, but heathrow is the preferred airport. i do think they will be able to get into the market just over time, and i think i have to -- and i think iata will make sure there is room for low-fare airlines to be there, so i think so. guy: thank you very much, indeed. really appreciate your time. helane becker of cowen joining us on the jetblue announcement. i will be speaking to the ceo of jetblue, coming up here on bloomberg television. alix: that's late for you, but worth it. those pictures, by the way, of business class, first class, whatever, they look really nice, and sick evidently cheaper. i was surprised. guy: but you don't have these big corporate platforms with the miles and everything else that you're able to collect, so it is going to be interesting to see whether this is a leisure market story, going head to head maybe with virgin atlantic. i think those are the two you are really going to compare. it will be interesting to see whether they get into iag and united and american in terms of those markets because that
