What can the beleaguered management of BRS do? Presumably 1) their contractors have skilled people who have to sleep, and 2) the contractors don't have spare capacity sitting around to throw at this problem. So they can't just close for a few days and get the job finished.
If a re-think about the process of the operation is required (ie finishing a section completely before opening the runway for use again rather than laying a base layer, opening then closing again to complete the surface) the implications of that could be substantial.
As it stands, EZY and the other operators won't be returning until the problem is resolved (if only for
PR reasons - now that they have implied it's unsafe to operate from BRS, they will need extra reassurance that they can re-start ops there).
It's January, Bristol is on high ground on the western approaches, and must suffer a fair amount of rainfall at this time of year. So how long will it be before a solution is reached?
Finally, how did Luton manage to complete a similar exercise during the last few months without suffering the same problems?
This is a serious enquiry, not a poke at anyone.
