What is going to happen is the mass expulsion of passengers due to a weather issue that for Easyjet is unique to Southend and won't happen at Gatwick, Luton and Stansted in the London area. That is assuming the flights are nearly full.
As a matter of interest has LTN ever suffered restrictive RTOWs due to surface temperature? I ask only because although LTN has excellent TODAs of 3,243m, due to its geographical features, it has an TORA/ASDA of 'only' 2,162m on 08. As I say, just curious about it and no hidden agenda.
