It seems like a very long down time, suggesting a fairly serious problem.

I travelled through on Friday, and disruption wasn't too bad.
When IT things go wrong these days it seems to take longer to resolve whereas you would think with all the expertise it would be quicker. However moving on the airport has reported the August passenger figures.

I know a bit of spin with the "near million" but still good stats.

Still no rumours of Turkish Airlines operating as this seems an obvious choice for going east especially with their aggressive expansion and now that Qatar have settled on Cardiff or maybe they are concerned it will dilute BHX which has taken a few years to get back to double daily (summer 19).
