breaking news when it comes to heathrow.ig stories is the idea we are not doing enough in the u.k. to separate out the green countries, the amber countries, and the red countries. this came from what was happening with india and how slow some believe the u.k. was to respond. now there are growing calls in the u.k. for red country arrivals into the country to be segregated. now looks like we are starting to get details of that happening as we put on heathrow and other airports to make that happen. heathrow is saying it will have a netlist country facility. that is going to be a terminal three, one of the terminals at heathrow. basically you will find out a significant reorganization of the way arrivals come through heathrow with the idea that if you're coming in from a red country you have to go to an airport, an airport and hotel and stay there. the only way to achieve that is to make sure they all coming through one final. that is starting to happen. the u.k. is pushing this. alix: i just feel, how anymore things can they d

everyone wants to go to heathrow. 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

there are pictures of cues at heathrow, which showed nothing like social distancing and people cominglist. and i don't know about you, does it make you feel like giving on holiday? it certainly does not make me want to do so. and it seems as if it is at our borders that we need to be most careful now in order that people coming back from india and unknowingly transmitting it to people coming back from other countries. we have seen the airports consistently saying why can we not give people travelling. maybe they need to be able to assure us that you can travel with some security. that's a story on the i as well. red list travel acute chaos at heathrow and there is one of the pictures of people in that departure askew. the other thing as well is that amber, james, the amber countries, it is not illegal to travel to those and yet we are being discouraged from doing so unless you have a very good reason for it. so people are saying why notjust have a green list and a red list and make it binary.- red list and make it binary. yeah, this is something _ red list and make it binary. yeah, th

that would certainly be the case for heathrow.y 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 tourist travel and business travel. jonathan: did you get the short straw to be sent to the airport? who is going to the puib?

we are already seeing huge long queues at heathrow airport because of these covid—19 checks. others will see long queues when you arrive? absolutely not. for example, we operate a testing regime. so everyone that needs a test on arrival gets one. it is provided free by the government. we havejust opened a testing lab on site at the airport which will process all of those pcr test results within three hours. we have processed so far more than 4 million tests at the airport without queues. whatever the system, we will adapt our processes to ensure that our passengers are not put in huge long queues and kept waiting. well, he was on bbc world news can see more of that interview with the dubai airports ceo. that's on talking business with aaron heslehurst this weekend. the times are on your screen now with the first airing at 23:30 gmt on saturday. let's get some of the day's other news. disney attracted fewer streaming customers than expected last quarter, stoking fears that a key engine of the century—old company's transformation may be losing some momentum. the entertainment g

expecting some detail as it, aren't we, but we're also getting noises of important players like heathrow on a minute, have you got the infrastructure in place to cope with a sudden surge of people wanting to travel abroad 7 and perhaps more importantly, wanting to come back again after they've been on their holiday or theirfamily trip. yeah, it's two weeks really, amid hopes to be able to allow international travel to resembles that of course, there hasn't been a blanket ban for some time in place now. the debate really is picking up, as you suggest. we've got political debate about whether it's the right thing to do, but also various voices, whether it's unions representing airport workers, the travel industry and others, all having their say. and i think it's fair to say the government wants to go as far as it can, soon as it can, but only if it deems travel to be safe. and at the question is, well, how exactly do you decide what is safe? we have had some thoughts today from a cross—party group of mps, the all party parliamentary group on coronavirus, informal grouping in parliament wh

the guys at heathrow, apparently, are saying that they are seeing huge numbers of fake documentation, they only spot them because they've spot -- because they spot spelling mistakes on them. alix: how do we handle all of that, particularly when it comes to families traveling, a lot of what we see with summer travel? what do you do when the kids are not vaccinated? scott: in terms of risk come of the first question you always want to ask is what is transmission like in your community and in the community you are going to. that drives down the risk for all behaviors. if you are coming from a place that is not having a lot of transmission, going to a place where there's not a lot of transmission, the risks are going to be a lot lower. all of that changes if you are seeing spikes where you're coming from or where you are going to. that is a big first question that needs to get asked. people want to treat it more like a light switch on and off. can i go there, can i not go there. can my kids, or can they not come. that is really what you're going to have to look for when you start to think

sure every airport in the uk is at all affected by these findings from the committee, certainly heathrowhould 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 you would like to let me know what your thoughts are on international travel, do you think it's a good idea, are y
