Well yes, that's sort of the point.
You can't crow about accepting City's fog diversions when Cat IIIA traffic heading to your airport has to divert. 'Hypocrisy' is the word that comes to mind.
Imagine if Easy were still operating 737s rather than IIIB A3xx... would Derry airport be crowing about accepting all those diversions? I think not.
Not really the point though is it, we have a IIIB capable airfield that can accept traffic when it can't land in the city, so we are celebrating our plus points when there is so much negativity (not least of which is on here) to combat regarding the perception of the airport. Why wouldn't we Tweet about it?
And as it happens, I think LDY would quite happily tweet about handling any diversions. Like, for example, the FedEx this morning which couldn't land at BFS.
