I only saw the last 30 minutes or so.
It is always said that the media never let facts get in the way of a story, but equally we, as pilots and controllers, should NOT let the second-rate production get in the way of a valid question.
'Dan Dare' echos this on the thread on the ATC forum.
Is there a potential problem?
Is it being addressed?
PS Jacko - under JAROPS, airlines can (and do) plan to have only enough fuel for a landing at a 2 runway destination airport, with VERY little left for any diversion. This may have been what that part of the programme was 'hinting' at? Sudden 'closure' of such an airport could place a significant number of aircraft in a low-fuel state.
PPS - Mods - can we somehow get the ATC thread and this combined?
