Airport technology signals end of delays in high winds
Reported in The Times:
More aircraft will be able to land in strong headwinds — the biggest single cause of late arrivals — after a successful test of the system at Heathrow. An analysis showed that delays caused by wind were cut by 60 per cent at the west London hub in the first 12 months that the technology was in operation.
The “time-based separation” system will be introduced at Gatwick and Manchester
