Ryanair at Prestwick
Interesting afternoon at EGPK last Thursday. Wx deteriorated after lunch and there were 4 aircraft inbound, a TB20, 2 Ryanair flights and 1 other GA aircraft, can't remember the type. The first Ryanair was given priority and vectored for the 31 ILS, followed by the unknown GA type. The 2nd Ryanair was then shuffled off into the hold while the TB20 made an approach! Bet that went down well!
How are relations between controllers and Ryanair at Prestwick? I have heard Ryanair crew complaining about having to wait for traffic on approach to an into-wind runway while they have to wait to use the reciprocal - accepting the tail-wind to avoid taxi time.
