AN airport in southwest England has closed its runway to speed up resurfacing work after 10 airlines suspended operations because of safety concerns.
Since Friday, 369 flights have been cancelled or diverted after the airlines, including low-cost operator easyJet, raised concerns over braking in wet conditions.
9 or 10 airlines, 369 flights. Whatever.
I was mislead by the press reports on the Indonesian aircrash, so I don't know how much credence to put into press reports.
