@Jonathan Fairfield

Would it be appropriate to point out that the reason Emirates and Ethiad aren't flying is because the UAE government have stopped all flights through their area?

https://www.emirates.com/uk/english/help/travel-updates/   https://www.etihad.com/en-gb/travel-updates/covid-19#suspension

 

I know the effect is the same but it may stop people blaming the airlines when it's not actually their fault

[mr PPG]

This info is sent to us from the British Embassy each day. If the Australian Embassy - or any other embassy have a similar list - we'll happily share it.
