Poland does not have a single CAT III runway for 10+ airports with considerable traffic and population approx. 40 million. But at least their weather is s...ty every autumn/winter.
TBSC, you are absolutely right, this is crazy and hard to understand.
But isn't the incident, we just discuss, the best example, why it is so?
The pilots keep landing below minima (also LOT), delays and diversions
are avoided, so no pressure on the authorities to change the situation...
Let's save the money, f**k the fog, the "good old boys" will land anyway.
It's cheaper.
It always remind me of the saying:
"If you think safety is expensive, try to have an accident."
