Or … more politely … it’s an airport, shouldn’t they be equiped to deal with winter conditions. And yes, I have someone due to fly in today … It’s not exactly the only airport in Britain to have had to close a runway this week is it?

Omobono Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 they have always been reluctant to use the anti freeze solution on the runways , as its expensive , and the aircraft might need de icing as well , better shut the place down than provide a service for airport users , I would say this is a normal cold morning in most parts of northern Europe , and passenger services will remain un affected , WE have certainly plunged to being a third world island and seemingly not able to provide a decent highways or reliable transport infrastructure , or capable of keeping the place going during a long forecast period of frosty weather that the met people predicted and warned about 2 weeks ago , 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t cope with much. Useless Airport run by useless Department headed by useless Minister. Minister Thomas made a big performance in his interview about the airport being manned during the night etc. Its all the more amazing, the IOM can’t do things normally, when you have smaller airports in colder regions of the world, which manage perfectly, providing a lifeline service, yet on the IOM, the islands airport shuts down at the sign of a bit of cold weather. Sick patients due to go for consultation appointments and surgery in Liverpool Hospitals have been affected by cancellation. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Do we have different ice and snow these days, go back twenty years and you never heard the shite they are spouting. DOI would have gritters ploughs on standby if forecast was for any cold weather, is this all through cost savings. They no longer seem to have men or equipment to keep the island moving. Again ineptitude in management, oh we never used them last year get rid that will knock £110,000 off the £7,000,000 over overspend(more like 300,000,000 they hide there figures well,spent good money on accounts division) nothing but a bunch of inept prick's who all walk away with eye watering pensions. Tossers. Edited December 16, 2022 by Dirty Buggane 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 On 12/14/2022 at 10:59 AM, The Voice of Reason said: But aren’t the needs of each group fundamentally the same? Flights arriving and departing contain visitors and residents alike so the surrounding infrastructure needs to cater for both. For example both need the cafe to have food available to purchase. Or would you ration it to residents only? Not quite. It shows their motivation that they're worried about how things may be perceived by 'outsiders', rather than things being good for residents. Fix things for residents and then the visitor side will fall into place. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
