Banks are allocating hundreds of extra staff to spearhead the recovery efforts and bosses have been in regular talks with the Treasury to finalise plans.

“British Airways will not operate any short haul flights at Gatwick until 30 October 2021. Short haul flights were due to resume at the airport on 30 June.”

“Until the end of October, most of our short-haul flights will continue to operate from Heathrow. This enables us to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted, and efficient operation across our business at a time when demand is yet to return and international travel restrictions remain in place.

“We’re proactively letting customers know and recommend they check their booking on ba.com prior to travel.”

The UK has a clear roadmap out of lockdown, and the coronavirus vaccination programme is on track. The outlook for the UK economy looks better now than it has done for a long time. Bank stocks like Lloyds tend to do well when the economy is roaring. If the UK is poised on the cusp of an economic boom, then Lloyds should be able to start to increase its dividend. The analyst consensus is for 1.7p in 2021 and 2.3p in 2022. Of course, analysts’ forecasts can change.

Lloyds share price
If Lloyds starts paying out dividends again, then shouldn’t the share price start to rise as well? Yes, it probably would. But I think there is a cap on how high it can go. For one thing, as a share price increases, the dividend yield starts to fall, making it less attractive. Looking at a chart of the Lloyds bank share price from 2008 (the great financial crash) onwards and it appears to move between 21p and 88p.
