How do airports stand licencing wise with domestic firefighters on strike??
Accepted the airport RFF category is based on the airfield fire service, but each airport itself holds a CAA licence for operation.
Part of that CAA licencing is the airports emergency plan. Every UK airport I know of includes the local fire services as an integral part of the emergency plan. i.e. they are called as support units in the case of a pre meditated emergency occuring.
Surely airports will not be complying with the terms of their own emergency plans whilst domestic firefighters are on strike, and hence not complying with the terms of their CAA issued licence.
Anyone any better informed on this subject than I who can shed any better light upon it?
