Runway/Summer 16

Hi CATIII-NDB

It seems a bit like the German Tourist sketch in Fawlty Towers "Don't mention the war" but substitute war for CAT 3 ILS on 33.

It has been explained on another group and it is pretty much as TL has said with it believed to be drainage related but I was told it will be sorted.

Despite my tongue-in-cheek reference to Fawlty Towers above, the topic is not banned but you do get the feeling people do get uncomfortable talking about it as it has been a very long time.

Summer 16

Full steam ahead as they say, extra Norwegian Malaga started tonight, Vueling start Tenerife tomorrow, Vueling Alicante started last Saturday, Perpignan back for Ryanair and two extra Alba Star charters a week to Palma for "on the beach", which was a nice surprise adding to their Thursday Thomson flight.

Ryanair Dublin down to four daily on some days until August

Winter 16/7

Norwegian increase Tenerife to three weekly from the start of October and Las Palmas finally released for winter at once weekly but still no sign of Madrid and Barcelona,

Flybe Rotterdam still bookable but from the delayed start date 1 October 2016. Nantes still bookable this winter at 3 a week.
