multi rwy airport in CAVOK with an ALTN less than the minimum diversion fuel
Much like LHR when BAW38 landed short. Suddenly you do not have multi-runway airport, you have a closed airport with fire Cat 0 and more diversions than the nearby diversions can take or Japan in 2011 when a whole country closed. Where do you go then? It is thoroughly unpleasant to be able to give no special handling to the diversion Pans and Maydays because there are so many of them. I expect it is even less pleasant to be one of them. One day an event will leave us with less available landing runway than aircraft needing them.
