Saturday 27 Dec. 158 passengers managed to get to the airport on time for an early flight. Monarch engineering had the ac prepped and ready to go. Doors closed on time, Captain tell us that only one of the 2 runway deicing machines is working this morning. Runway an hour late opening because of this. This lack of redundancy in safety critical infrastructure is concerning perhaps Bridgepoint should concentrate on getting a grip on the essentials and provide a decent service rather than worrying about expansion.
