LCY Diversions
The subject of diversions from LCY to SEN the other evening has been discussed on the LCY thread, but my question is how many stands does SEN have available for diverting aircraft. It would seem that not many can be accommodated these days.
Obviously stands have to be reserved for SEN's based operators but is it not feasible to move aircraft off stands to the old apron or north apron once unloaded.
With winter coming and LCY's propensity to suffer accordingly is Southend missing some welcome income here.
For those of us old enough to remember the Christmas Eve of 1957, when there were aircraft parked just about everywhere, today's situation appears very small scale in comparison.
