Any reason for the ATIS not being updated and UAE telling people they didn't know when arrivals would start again for 30 minutes? We all know how much fuel we are happy with diverting but I found the lack of info especially not being able to get a RVR pretty mad. Out of interest why is there a runway block put in ? surely it's better to keep arrivals going and hold aircraft on stand even if arrivals have to waiting for a gate.
