Flew into and out of Enontekio airport 15.12.07 (TOM8547).
Got held up on departure because (allegedly):
A late returning coach delayed aircraft number 1 in a queue of 7 on the apron and, since there is no room to maneuver, all subsequent flights were held until this plane had left.
If the above explanation is true, does anyone know what the procedure would be if aircraft 1 went seriously u/s? Would we be stuck there until it was serviceable or could it be moved eventually?
PS Many thanks to the crew of TOM8547 who kept a big smile and a bigger sense of humour in the face of many, many overtired and fractious children.
