excuse my ignorance but surely wouldn't it have been more sensible for the authorities to give a cut-off time of say, midnight tonight, instead of blanket bans everywhere? two aircraft have now spent hours more in the air than they needed to, no doubt inducing panic amongst the pax, being held then told to go elsewhere. QS4160 now landing Tunis and it looks like QS1201 enroute to Ankara, having held over the Black Sea. Knee jerk reactions when they have no actual factual data?
Why not say all aircraft once landed at destination have to be grounded? There was a max into MAN earlier today, AFTER the announcement.
