But the reasons for not accepting diversions since the KLM MD-11 incident decades ago have varied.
These allegedly include:
Failure to clear snow effectively one snowy winter which led to the no-divs notam for a couple of weeks.
No fuel available
Lack of parking stands
Problems with handling agents due staff shortages and refusal to work overtime.
I expect parking stands could be an issue this winter with the TP work, but as reported elsewhere, it was apparently a handling agent staff shortage situation that again restricted diversions last evening. I realise we have more flights of our own than the airfields that accepted diversions but presumably respective staffing levels should reflect that.
Personally, I just wish the airport and airlines could get it sorted. At busy times, it must affect the handling of our own flights.
