Just a word of thanks to the moderators who seem to have removed a piece of poisonous nonsense posted earlier in this thread which stated that airlines avoided EGAE, LDY, Eglinton, Derry, Londonderry, City of Derry, Stroke city, Maiden City (Phew!!!)because of a management team that operates or used to operate there.
I made a few enquires and the same range of operators ( Aer Arann being one of course)who always have considered the Airport as an alternate in case of emergency,weather etc, continue to do so now.No change - apparently, when in trouble, an air crew or Airlines opinion of an Airport Management style comes way down the list when the're deciding where to divert to - shocker!!!
Thans again AE
