I see an easyjet aircraft has had to divert to East Midlands at 22.00 due to fog as they needed 700m. I wonder whether they will be able to hire coaches at short notice for 23.00 on Christmas Eve. Somehow I think it’s going to be a Christmas Day to remember for their passengers.
Snow is forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, it wasn’t that many years ago that snow fell between Christmas and New Year and brought 3 days of chaos to the airport. Day 1 was spent ploughing the airport but once open there was only one serviceable aircraft de-icer for the whole airport for the next 2 days. Hope they have a spare this year!
