Notices to Airmen | NOTAMS | Birmingham Intl Airport | Birmingham, United Kingdom | EGBB
More Runway closures in May albeit in the middle of night and for short periods but things are obviously amiss. CAT 1 ILS 15 only now showing to 23 May and same with the 33 restrictions.
I too am sceptical of the weather as the sole factor here but a press release from the airport or Contractor might stop all the speculation but at the end of the day it seems the project failed to deliver on time but as Nigel as said it doesn't seem to have affected the operating airlines adversely.
I arrived back from Florence last Friday (circa 85 pax on the 175!) in what looked like a monsoon and when we were on final approach and no sight of the ground I though whether we would get in due to the restrictions but we did although there were overshoots earlier in the day but nothing diverted I believe.
Note the runway distances are still in force until 14 May and has not been put back further.
