Suitable airport definition
Hi guys. Recently moved from the sand pit to a European carrier (non-eu) and while reading the manuals realised that there's no definition for a suitable airport even though the term is used quite frequently. Most importantly it's used in the om b (A320) abnormal ops to assist in the decision making process. In airbus fctm it says suitability criteria has to be defined by the carrier, but it isn't. I was also unable to find the definition for the term in easa documents. Does anyone know what it is and/or where to find it or is it just a common sense thing in Europe? Where I've flown before suitable airport was adequate+weather.
p.s. the carrier is non-etops, that could be the reason why the definition isn't given, but then again they use it all the time, and airbus specifically points that the criteria has to be given.
