Manx Bean Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I wonder if Gatwick would have been closed all night because of a spillage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly wouldn’t have been using their runway if it had a hydraulic fluid spillage on it. One would expect, understandably, for them to have more resources at hand to clean such a mess up though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Easyjet have committed to cancelling then reinstating it is filed in the too difficult pile. 38 minutes ago, Manx Bean said: wonder if Gatwick would have been closed all night because of a spillage? Gatwick has two runways, which helps. And Loganair were able to use our second runway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have, but as mentioned by others, not before the flights were cancelled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoTailT Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 So amongst an already messy period of time for the airport, we have a birdstrike causing an ATR to have a smashed up windshield and a hydraulic issue causing rwy closure all within a matter of days. I know they are issues that can't be linked, but I do sit and wonder if we are just a bit cursed sometimes. Maybe the crews didn't say hello to the faeries! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if on official business not on holidays just like anyone else working for private companies, do you pay your own travel expenses if traveling in behalf of employers?

Two birdstrikes on the same day, nonetheless! (Albeit one less serious). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newaccount Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Ronaldsway Airport hopes to bring its air traffic controllers up to full strength by September. A Freedom of Information request asked how many ATC staff are needed, how many are currently working and how many are being recruited. The airport says it need 16 operators but currently only has 14 - another four are due to start this year. Of the 14 currently working, only eight are available for operational duty. The figures come after Ronaldsway said the runway closed five times a day for air traffic controller rest periods because of staff shortages.

Ringy Rose Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I see Loganair have been dicking around with their schedules again. Manchester’s dropping to one flight a day in about two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
