So what happens when an aircraft inbound to Heathwick with an emergency is refused permission to land?

We already get the 'wouldn't you really rather go elsewhere' speech read out to us, courtesy of the beancounters and lawyers I imagine.

Of course the Captain has the ultimate authority - and flight safety is paramount (Yawn), but an incident that blocks the runways at Gatrow looks bad on News 24 and could adversely impact on retail operations!!
