RVR's are in excess of 1,200 and expected to remain around that until 6
1,200 unchanged when I posted that this morning, now 375 at Touchdown zone
In a period of 90 minutes it dis improved significantly.
Per Today's Irish Independent Business section bottom right of page 6.
The definition of "weather related delays" to a flight before compo is due appears to be narrowing.
Diverting on the basis of what the RVR might be in 16 hours time is premature in my view.
So maybe the re positioning of Aircraft based on the forecast weather is a very pragmatic and sound business practice.
150 passengers
minimum per flight all getting €250 each where delays are in excess of 3 hours is a few euro.
Yes I agree it would play havoc with the travel plans of all concerned but this is business.
