Saudi Arabia confirms no alcohol will be allowed when they host 2034 World Cup. Hardly surprising given it's a dry country. What do you think of the counter arguments currently expressed for "fairness* "give & take"? If we choose to go to a destination, are not guests there?

Non-EU investors buying holiday homes in #Spain - the debate continues. Spanish Gov wants to ban investment to tackle rising housing costs for locals. With a small proportion of property owned by foreigners & only 5% of homes built since 2010 is the solution to ban or to build?

@manairport, @LPL_Airport, @bhx_official all temporarily close their runways due to heavy snow overnight. Travel will be difficult for sure but check with your #airline. Also check online departure/arrivals boards on your airport website. Airlines must provide assistance!

Replying to @UK_CAA
@UK_CAA figures show a 26% increase in female pilots since 2019. This is so encouraging to see in a profession that has historically been lacking in diversity. There's a long way to go but it's definitely taking off in the right direction βοΈ caa.co.uk/newsroom/news/uk-aβ¦
