now there's a fvck!ng surprise!!! 3 or 4 flakes of snow and ltn has to again be the only airport in the country to close ( anyone care to prove otherwise). makes our so called "international" airport a pathetic joke and embarassment. the past few years have seen no change despite management changes and ltn still being the only airport closing for snow. why - cos a) ltn has no snow plough and b) they wait till every last single flake of snow has rested before even attempting to clear, by which time the snow has compacted and turned to ice. the so called snow clearing equipment (a few tractors with rotating brushes attached) by now have no effect possibly even adding to the problem. simple answer and reccommendation to ltn airport management. after removing fingers from arseh0les, buy a snow plough, and for christ fvck!ng sake - USE IT EARLY. why is it so hard to "begin" clearing a runway of snow in the early stages (like every other airport - even the much smaller provincial airports).
