So there's an issue with wind shear on one of the runways in certain conditions. Lots of airports have windshear issues; Gib, Funchal, HK. It's disappointing to see coverage so negative, particularly on a mil aviation forum. From the military/strategic stance I'm struggling to see the downside; a usefully-located unsinkable and everlasting carrier for under a tenth the cost of one QE, none of it from defence budget.
"So no holiday jets..." Don't speak too soon. I spend plenty of time landing holiday jets at airports which are less than ideal in one way or another.
