I would not hold out for much success with EI's gateway to the US and Caribbean from Manchester. Over time it has become clear that US-MAN-US routes generally do not work well, in spite of MAN's significant catchment area. One by one, carriers have dropped routes in the market.

I wouldnt be surprised if AZ ended up suing the EU the way things are going.

Re: European Commission Vaccination Strategy News and Discussion Thread

AZ is only selling at cost though, it's not making any profit from the vaccine?
