I'm glad they diverted you to Katowice, but when I and my friends were on the flights (in 2010 and 2011) it was always to Berlin and once a friend was diverted to Warsaw, but it was never to Katowice, the reason given was always that it is not an airport which is served by Aer Lingus.
I agree that Krakow (and Modlin) need some better facilities for landing in fog as both airports are suspect-able to fog due to their location, but in the days in question in the past nobody forced EI to land at Berlin and they decided to and ultimately they did themselves damage by doing this.
There are a good five or six airports in Poland that could handle an A320 but EI on a good number of occasions decided to go to Berlin, you can blame the needing to divert on the airport without doubt, but the choice of destination lays solely with EI at the end of the day.
