Ops normal for now, but look out for July 10 which is the new deadline for an agreement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Europe<\/strong> &#8211; An alarming fake Notam has been doing the rounds alluding to big restrictions on foreign operators due to a fuel shortage. EASA has confirmed it&#8217;s fake. Also, look out for big military exercises happening in Italy, France and Finland.<\/li>\n<li><strong>China<\/strong> &#8211; Entry rules are still super restrictive. Flights to Guangzhou and Beijing are being cancelled. Unknown impact for crew.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amsterdam<\/strong> &#8211; Ongoing disruptions at EHAM\/Schiphol due to runway closures, strikes and staff shortages. Has anyone been there recently?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Unsolved mysteries<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Crew quarantine in China:<\/strong>\u00a0We&#8217;re still looking for answers. Is there anyway to avoid three weeks in a hotel? And if so, where?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fuel prices on the US East Coast<\/strong>: They&#8217;re soaring, but we&#8217;re hearing rumours of great deals. Do you know where to find them?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Approach bans:<\/strong>\u00a0Can ATC stop you from flying an approach due to the weather, or is that specific to the UK\/Ireland?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pringles:<\/strong> Bec&#8217;s cautionary tale.<\/p>\n<h4>OPSQUIZ<\/h4>\n<p>Mark&#8217;s back to host, and we have a new champion this week!
