cornishsimon 'They could of also brought some of the diversions into NQY rather than SNN or AMS etc ? splash and dash off to LHR again!'
I guessing that would be unlikely as the a/c didn't/couldn't splash and dash on this occassion, all a/c that diverted then night stopped. Would NQY (and surrounding hotels) able able to handle several night stopping 777's, 747's, etc.?
If it was a divert in which the a/c would then depart again, then fair enough, but night stopping, then no. Also, would the ramp have enough space for these widebodies to self manouvre away from stand after their time on the ground? I am not NQY bashing, just enquiring.
