Its lack of investent

BAA Traveller magazine page 66-67 has a piece about how prepared they are for the weather with their "68 strong fleet of de-icers, snow blowers, ploughs and tractors"

A total of 68 bits of equipment to clear 8 kilometres of runway and 200 stands.

Skavsta ( also Spanish owned) has around 30 bits of equipment for 2.3km of runway and 15 stands.

even taking into account the shortage of equipment, not being able to clear the second runway is baffling
