Christmas Chaos LGW
Contingency plan for such an event? The flood risk affecting Gatwick has long been recognised and was referred to in various aviation white papers- govt policy. Surely it is possible to provide some system redundancy so that if one part goes down another steps in. S terminal was not affected only N terminal. Why?
If you are building something new you can plan for such eventualities such as provide independent duplication of supply. It's not difficult and portable generators were used extensively during the Olympics for the same reason. I don't believe that this problem has occurred at BHX, GLA or MAN but if they don't have a back up plan it could.
