Really amuses that the local residents are seen as the villains here. The airport has been given a set of rules to operate to, rules that they have accepted. A government dept was given the job of monitoring all this, but like many gov depts, decided not to do what they were paid to do. This week we discover that they didn't even have a definition of what "exceptional circumstances" meant. Why? Well what about this for a reason, neither the airport nor the gov dept were taking the rules seriously, any delay for any reason is ok, just come on in. After all these years they have been found out.
It was posted on here some weeks back that KLM would like a 6.00 am departure out. Well if they want that and they knew the operating hours before they started, or should have, why go to Bhd then?
Well done local residents, hopefully for once big industry and government that says one thing and does another will now have to play by the rules. Just a very small step to show that people can't always be walked over, as has been happening too much recently.
