Which other operator would have gone to the trouble of undertaking 757 trials? Other than EXS only Thomson have regular 757 ops into LBA and they allow CAT3 so long as there is no tailwind component.
Ryanair are also regular users of CAT3 on the 800 srs and bmi have just got certification down to 3b for the 319. I also thought Jet2 themselves certified the 737 for autoland down to 3a minima? That's 3 regular operators is it not.
I hope for the sake of maintaining the winter schedule though that they give the new airport owners a kicking about sorting those disp. thresholds out at both ends.
