Unfortunately the traffic department was closed, with the loss of 10 or 12 people.
The Engineers I have spoken to would love to see the return of a PAX flt, other than the 20+ PIA flts they look after, as well as the freighters. They say this rumour has been doing the rounds for a couple of years, and they say it would be nice to serve the largest Chineese community in the UK again!
Like they say once it taxi's in and the chox are under the wheels then they'd believe it, until then they are not holding their breath.
Happy New Year to one and all lets hope for a prosperous New Year, and maybe some profit share and a pay rise! OK then a Happy New Year will have to do!!
