Just that at 638 LBA is a 'bit' higher than most other UK airports! So Man might well have been able to get flights out, while the top of the LBA 'hill' would be shrouded in thick fog! I've been in Bramhope (from where you usually get a really good view of the LBA approach) less than 2 miles from LBA in clear weather and not been able to distinguish ANYTHING where the aiport should have been! On the other hand this doesn't seem to have been a factor in this case. Though if real weather wasn't the problem, only predicted weather, it does make you wonder what the 'other'factors were in the planning? Maybe, in the grand scheme of things, those cancellations didn't really matter much? Which would, in turn, make me wonder about (a) the profitability, and (b) the future of the route.
