london city
With the increased traffic at LCY it now seems that LCY atc are requesting other london sectors to put delaying action on inbound traffic i.e. speed reductions many miles out(>60), long detours round the south east, holds etc,. I heard tha a scot airways Do328 was zapped the other last night whilst being routed around until ramp space became available. It's one thing to have to burn more fuel, everyone has to join a queue but when a/c are damaged whilst beig held off because lcy like the revenue that seems a tad wrong. Surely this must indicate a need for more ramp space or less inbound traffic!!!
