I was flying my A320 inbound AMS just arriving to the TOD when I was informed by maas ctrl that AMS apt was closed for 2 hours and asked me for intentions... I was one of the many who diverted to BRU.
Now, I don't know what you guys think about it but for me going to an apt with so many rwys like ams used to be confortable. Now I see that it's the same thing as having just one.
In my company we used to say... it's ok, if one rwys is blocked whe have the other 6. It's not really like that is it?
At that time not enough Emergency-vehicles on the field to respond to another possible Mayday or Pan-call (Due to the scale of the emergency (VOS-state)). After 2 hours the field opened again, just in time to have it's second emergency that day.
