Was it coincidence today that both Jet2 737s were unable to get into Leeds on CAT3 or has there been some change to SOPs with regard 32 at LBA? The airport kit was working as Air Southwest Dash-8 (CAT2) and Ryanair -800 (CAT3) got in. I've always thought a key strength of Jet2 was their on-time performance and, over the harsher winter months, utilising the CAT3 kit at Leeds has often been integral to that. Weather this morning was RVR250m, sky obscured, 6kts tailwind down the runway and a damp runway surface. Not pretty, but not unusal and thus far in Jet2's 3 and a bit years, not proved to be a problem.
