There have been to my knowledge no issues with the ILS
I've had it confirmed by one who knows that there were no issues with the ILS. To quote:
"There were no go-arounds, no offset approaches, all arrivals landed safely.
Plus, post accident checks gave the ILS a clean bill of health and it was put straight back into service with no problems afterwards.
The NOTAM taking it out of service is pure co-incidence. A brand new ILS is being installed which has been known about for a long time. Nothing wrong with the present one, just the airport is deciding to invest in more modern equipment."
