48 hours @ Brum.
We all in the aviation community are upset about the tragic events last friday when Challenger N90AG crashed on take off at Birmingham.
However it is the chain of events that followed it that worries me.Can anybody in this forum tell me from an informed position why a large airport like BHX had to remain closed for 2 whole days?
I work for an airline that like many can not afford unnessasary disruption to its opertion at this delicate time financially,this event will cost us dear.
It should be remembered that the a/c was a private,non AOC operation and many people I know question why it had to have such a huge impact at the airport.Had a similar incident occured on the M25 then the road would have opened asap.
Therefore if the BBC T.V.news interview with Chief Inspector Ellie Bird of West Midlands Police is anything to go by I suspect that the yellow jacketed ,nanny state jobs worth's had a hand in the long closure.
