Speaking of operations, can anyone answer this.
easyJet flight today off 109 to AMS delayed due winds at the Dutch end. Queued to be penned into gate area before 2 hour delay announced and we were set free to roam wild once more. So WHY when the flight was called were we bussed from Gate 45 on two buses back to the very same aircraft on 109. Now was a little bit windy so the aircraft were off the airbridges and using steps on the south stands on pier 7 but why couldn’t we just go down the stairs from the terminal like many other LGW EZY flights.
Is there a wind limit to those particular jetties that means a light breeze takes them out of service?
