No appologies from BAA as to what happened at STN, only from the airlines. Shame the cheap skate airlines couldn't fly out later when the runway was reopened. Seems as though they havent learnt from last year or was it in November?
As for ATH I think the last time it snowed like this was about 15 years ago. I expect they had been drinking a bit too much Ouzo too?! At least there government is willing to give some sort of compensation and pax were looked after!!!
Recommendation:- STN to have sleeping bags available and shops still open. When runways open, delayed planes go. Simple!?
Runway in sight? Far from it!
