Runway

Suzeman

Up to 5th April the runway was closed 23.00-06.00 except Sat & Sun and after that I believe it was agreed it would close after the last scheduled flight.

I have checked a local SBS log and it indicates that all the scheduled movements from 6 April until 30 April arrived on time although on the night of the 23rd a Thomson arrived at 03.05.

The early hours of Wednesday and Friday had the Monarch Sharm inbound at 02.10 but most other nights it was 01.00-01.30 and nothing of note was late.

Therefore it seems the contractors got the runway as arranged. Over the winter there were a couple of extensions beyond 23.00 but equally a couple of times the runway was handed back late causing one or two diverts (United & Fed Ex).
