Almost all airports have made the change, the third party has adapted, but the CAA system (or website?) cannot yet accept figures in the revised format.
Don't shoot the messenger - just what I'm told...
That may very well be correct, East Mids, but just how difficult would it be for the CAA to communicate that information to everyone? They need to become rather more customer focussed.
