Popular Post daveAustin Posted March 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2020 What time is that? Can't imagine it being that empty as still a lot of foreigners there. Anyway, we'll have the tat along next saying tourism has never looked better and they expect 50M arrivals this year. 1 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really matter what time it is? That airport never looks like that at any time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross over reaction as countries gravely harm their people and economies Feel free to line up and get your dose of this "mild flu". We will all appreciate your immunity slowing down it's progress. In the meantime, there are many who will be seriously affected by this "mild flu". Professional estimates are 40% to 70% of the population will acquire this bug. Even with a 1% death rate, which at this point is on the low end of what we are seeing, that would be 240,000 dead Thai citizens, 1.2 million dead US citizens, and like numbers around the world. No question this is going to hurt economies - one way or another. 14 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That airport never looks like that at any time. Because like all airports it has quiet times. Baggage will look deserted between flights anyway and the 'upper end' of departures is also less busy.

Popular Post legend49 Posted March 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2020 Staged photo shoot. More fake news. Lines labelled R and T are used normally by non mains stream airlines, like S7, Aeroflot so there wouldnt be heaps of people unless a flight was scheduled. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post samsensam Posted March 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2020 come on OP, looks like those photos are taken at night when passenger number are always low. if you want to make a valid point you need a baseline for comparison; photos taken at the same time of day at different dates - as reputable news organisations do as a matter of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question this is going to hurt economies - one way or another. Complete hogwash. The actual mortality rate statistics are so grossly being applied that it is laughable from a scientific point of view. The earth has about two or three billion people too many now. A population reduction will be better for the overall health of the planet. The flu is impacting mostly old and aged people, which is a natural evolutionary thing. Old and weak die, stronger survive and pass that on to successive generations. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 And now that the Australian government came out with the measures last night thinks will even get bleeker as no sane airline will fly into a country that a 14 days mandatory quarantine, i for one had to cancel my upcoming trip to Oz and now wait to see what TG will do about refund or allow open ended rebooking in the future...

March 4th photos taking a friend to Swampy to fly back to USA after a month visiting me here Time 9:30 PM and of course this area had people arrive that filled small area of people leaving on that flight but the rest of the airport had very few people. Never seen it like that. Usually have to double park in the parking lot with the break off in case they have to move the car, this time plenty of parking spaces.

Burma Bill Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Very similar at Don Meaung Airport (DMK) last Wednesday at 07:30am, however there was a sprinkling of passengers for the budget airlines, like me flying to Siem Reap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 01.04 zero (0) Finnair just announced they will be cutting 90% of their flights. Given that Finland today announced it will be closing it's borders, the BKK flight is likely on that list. https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/finnair_slashing_capacity_by_90_from_1_april/11259244 https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/coronavirus_latest_272_cases_confirmed_in_finland_schools_to_close_finnair_and_tallink_cut_back_services/11249610 Quote The company's only intercontinental route that will continue during the period of restricted operations will be to Tokyo.
