From tomorrow's TAF.
Prob 30 Tempo 1509/1518 4000 FZRA
If this happens no one will be going any place with the resulting crap hold over times and the airports inability to de/anti-ice anything.
Be careful out there in your Turbo Props People.
Time to revisit the effects of tail plane icing.

De-icing is not helped by the airport not accommodating remote de-icing, insisting it has to be done on stand, with a 15 minute taxi time and a holdover that starts as soon as you de-ice you have no chance. So although the airport does not do de-icing it is culpable for it's lack of remote de-icing as most other airports have!

Freezing rain goes well beyond any airport deicing ability. Runways / taxiways might be ok but the aircraft absolutely won't - regardless of how much (or how recently) they have been anti-iced, it's an absolute no-no as I understand it. I'm happy to be corrected if there are any pilots on here who could confirm a scenario in which they'd be happy to start, taxi and depart during freezing rain conditions.

This confirmed yet?
Would be good. Belgrade is a large European capital city with a lot going for it - I recommend it to those who haven't been. Also Air Serbia is a pretty decent airline thanks to its Etihad legacy - have heard it's not quite as good as it was but still fine by today's standards.
Aarhus by SAS is definitely left field but very welcome - I work regularly with a Danish colleague who speaks highly of the place even though he is from CPH

Nothing on Air Serbia website re Manchester. Just offers 1 stoppers to Belgrade.
More left field than Tashkent on Uzbekistan Airways or Havana on Cubana?
Is the definition of 'left field' = I'll be surprised if that works?

No posts about the LGW diversion frenzy today? MAN has taken 9 (right?) aircraft already, including a Virgin 747 and Norwegian 787-9. Might be another Norwegian on the way too?

Just pushed a red nose 787 into engine test bay so it must be getting a bit tight for room now?
Ironic that it is 8 years to the day when snow brought Heathrow to it's knees and we've seen many changes since to avoid such chaos. I guess we'll see the same 're-thinking' after this farce.

Fom a drone over Gatwick to a drone in Whitehall.
It might be awake up call for Grayling etc.
I cannot believe that Sellafield, LATCC, Various RAF airfields don't (I suspect) have any defence against these things.
Fingers crossed MAG are on the ball.

We had told them we were coming, had not entered the restricted zone and as we were a Cat A flight the restriction did not apply to us so I gained great pleasure in pointing out the error of their ways and was left wondering how bright/prepared they were.
In some place like Russia or the USA the Gatwick incident would have been over in 30 minutes, in Lefty Libtard UK, more than 30 hours.
