Couldn’t see Ryanair play that silly game again, there too smart to axe all flights from ORK & SNN to LGW. Anyway the rumour came from someone confusing their Bs with their Ss it seems.

Norwegian B789 taxied along the secondary runway to the *landing* threshold instead of rolling on line up. Would have not ended well had they been forced to abort at V1.
Report: Norwegian UK B789 at London on Mar 28th 2018, began takeoff from incorrect point on runway

Interesting that the AAIB concluded that the markings at either end of the standby runway were not EASA-compliant.

The markings. EASA compliant or not, are not really relevant as the event occurred at night. Maybe they will have to look at providing "non-compliant" EASA lighting so emphasising where the start of take-off roll is. Night operations and lighting seem to be a contributary factor in pilots occasionally losing situational awareness on close parallel runways.

Rumours about easyJet starting a LGW-DUB route?...

Whilst I think thats great and would happily fly it as I love easyJet and Dublin !!

They are starting a LGW-DUS route in favour of the LGW-ABZ route.... Got me thinking.... Maybe somebody got their wires crossed? DUS over DUB ?...

I will wait for the official announcement regarding Dublin before I genuinely believe it

I think it was just someone confusing B with S. If EZY were to start DUB they would need similar prime slots as DUS and I can’t see any other routes being sacrificed for a risky DUB launch. Shame about ABZ either way

New Wizzair route - Cluj-Napoca. Daily from 31st march 19. Wizzair seem to be taking a bigger interest in Gatwick.

Good to see that the Gatwick website is showing this information even before the BBC or FR24 - or at least, it would be good if it did. At all.

Closed until 0300. Multiple diversions, several PAN calls and an exceptionally busy LTMA.

Its 0715. No LGW departures yet. Inbounds diverting to Machester, Amsterdam, Paris and Cardiff. Must be hell.

I really don’t understand, a post on Twitter in the last hour, all flights suspended due to a large drone STILL ACTIVE over the airfield, Now this drone must have a huge battery and a very sleepy operator, or it’s not a drone and something else is going on, I’m sorry this doesn’t make sense to me at all, yes stop traffic for a hour but we are talking 24hrs.
sorry I’m not buying it.

Yes the drone operators were irresponsible ( if they actually existed ) but I think the majority of diversions were due to a police helicopter bimbling around the TMA searching for the drones...

Surely by 2019 we can think of a better response than closing an airport for six hours and running around like headless chickens.
