An interesting day today for the airport (to say the least). There's already a thread running in Rumours & News about the TNT B733 landing incident but is there any truth in the rumour that the Airport company gave NATS (ATC) permission to use R06/24 for the smaller arrivals/departures (which can be used in good viz) but, then found out that no ATCO's were validated for approaches to 06/24!!
Presumably if the shorter runway was used, Brum wouldn't have lost the DAT & EZE flights to Coventry as these would have been able to use 06/24
