What's different this time is aircraft are leaving hours before the ATOL runs out yes a few were sent ahead but a decision was made to hold some back and now they decide to send them.
No handlers / airport authorities make decision on where to park the aircraft.
CAA has made the decision on positioning aircraft. Last year they did the same with United B747's and other aircraft being sent down-route.
A7-LAF now also starting-up
