snow at LHR
It reinforces the need for a third and fourth rwy. Without these, LHR is operating at 99% capacity, so quite honestly, what can be expected in case of adverse weather conditions?
As for investment in Canadian or Scandinavian levels of snow clearing equipment, can it be justified for a few days of heavy snow in just 3-4 bad winters every 25 years? Is it a good use of money that could maybe be used for other infrastructure improvements on the airport?
It's the same argument for the roads and the railways.
