Can someone in the know explain why the very expensive concrete strip in Cheshire has not been used today, at a time when I thought having a second snow free runway would pay dividends. In my simple logic why not keep sweeping all day alternating the runways ? Instead we have had several hour long closures causing chaos.
They are only allowed to use certain runways at certain times with certain departure patterns.
People living under the flight paths would sh*t themselves if they broke these rules.
