This post has suffered from the "black on black invisible text" problem that has been reported before.   Was it perhaps copy/pasted from a browser or some other app?

I thought Newcastle would have just scraped into the top 16 but nope  😞

Just shows how lucky we are that Emirates chose to fly out of Newcastle nearly 20 years ago, and that there is little hope of a 2nd Middle east airline competing against them unfortunately

I don’t know what browser or advice you’re using? I just copied and pasted text as I’ve always done.

I’ll try copying again and then posting below as plain text, but formatting might be lost.

Thank you.   The plain text version is visible with no problems.

The "black on black" issue happens to people who are using the forum's dark theme.   My guess is that, when copying html code from a browser,  sometimes the text colour is hard-coded in the formatting,   and the forum theme is not able to override it.   Thus,  the post renders with black letters,  even though the background is black.

It's possible to read the invisible posts by selecting the text,  for example with Ctrl-A.

Yes, me too,  especially the sheer numbers,  millions of people passing through airports in a single month.

I remember hearing,  prior to Covid,  that at any given moment there  were always at least a million people worldwide who were airborne on commercial flights.

Gatwick is the most busiest single Runway in the world bar none......only reading an article on it few days ago. Will see if I can find it and link in

(not in passenger numbers per se I acknowledge)
