For those who can remember last winter the same thing happened at LGW when the airport was closed due to snow.
I have noticed that a number of people stated that GVA was shut 1/DEC/10 that was correct but they had 40cm over night and it kept coming. I spoke to LX in GVA and thats what they told me. The Swiss expect snow and even more so in GVA.
LGW had a tiny amount next to that figure.
But can I make one very simple point here. Its winter so we should be ready for this. What LGW has had next to GVA is laughable. And no real reason why LGW is closed. Its other the 'mental elifs' in Health and Safety or lack of kit to do the job.
Saying that ZRH has had snow also and I would not have known until I spoke to one of our cpt's today at LHR. Only cos the flights are running to time.
