From time to time there has been the odd occasion when aircraft or crew issues have resulted in Jet2 being CAT1 only into LBA. What what unusual about today was that there were 2 at the same time buzzing around in the hold for an hour - hence why I'm womdering whether it was coincidence that a/c or crew issues were limiting both aircraft or whether it indicated a change in operating minima for 32.
If you strip out tech diversions or temporary airfield closures, Jet2 have probably had a handful of weather diverions away from LBA in 3 years - 2 in the space 15mins caught my eye therefore. I hope they are still OK for CAT3 onto 32; passengers from the 10:00am AMS this morning finally made it back to LBA after 4pm. No one can really afford for it to become anything other than a rarity.
