Etops Nightmare, Smoke and fire!

All well that ends well. Good job BA.
Now for the recovery!

On a thread drift I would like to bring to attention the fact that Denmark is considering closing Bluie West 8 or formerly called Søndre Strømfjord.
For You long haul chaps with a northern route I think this has some consequences.
Mind You they are intending to expand two other airports on Greenland to 2000 meters first!

The thought of electric smoke and fire is a thing that does make me feel uncomfortable, to say the least.
Not to many options up there.
Regards
Cpt B
