Snow on Runway at LHR
One is tempted to think that this is a conspiracy by BAA to get its own back for being denied a 3rd runway, but seriously all it shows is how incompetent they are at running an airport with 2 runways. Perhaps they can take a leaf out of the premiership football clubs business plans which recognise the value of the playing pitches and actually invest in undersoil heating, well since the runway is the airport's equivalent "playing surface" why not invest in below surface heating to help stop snow accumulations, that and a decent fleet of snow clearing vehicles, could be provided and at a fraction of the cost of a 3rd runway they could afford a state of the art system.
