BHX....Open for business as usual.........So far...:ok::cool:

OliWW 2nd Feb 2009 13:50

EMA is operational and has been all day, few delays this morning because of aircraft needing to be de-iced which has had a knock on effect all day, 1hr delays for a few flights, but they are all leaving, I think 2 flights have been cancelled, to catch up with the schedule, but otherwise all running fine. Its still snowing though, not stopped here

BRS still just about open and has been taking diverts this morning from STN, BOH and EMA, mostly FR and EZY's I believe. 3 non BRS based FR's sat on western apron at the moment.

Cancellations on AMS, BRU and CDG due to WX down route, and a couple of diverts (KRK, ALC, BGY) to CWL and EXT about 1340 during heavy snow. Think WX is forecast worse for BRS this evening and tomorrow.

Latest from BRS website....

WEATHER UPDATE
Bristol International Airport is currently experiencing some delays and a small number of cancellations as a result of the adverse weather conditions. Departing passengers are advised to check in as normal. For further flight information please visit our arrivals and departures board, or contact your airline or ceefax.

BHX
 
Is that apart from the R/Way closure of 2 & 1/2 hrs this morning & the same again this evening, loads of Flts DVT to proper airports (where they can keep the runway & apron open) & Cancelled outbound flights followed.
Passengers not happy that we cannot keep operating with literally 2 cms of the white stuff on the ground.
But i forgot that was business as usual for BHX:ugh:

BFS suffered multiple delays and cancellations to all UK destinations...

LTN-BFS nightstopper didn't make it back from BRS during an earlier flight... so now theres 1 less aircraft at BFS in the morning:ugh:

BRS are down 4 Ezy's. All the wrong side of the Severn!

Goldilocks95 3rd Feb 2009 04:41

you know im glad thats its a tuesday todaythen and not a friday! we only need i think 3 ezys for tuesday mornings at brs!

Manchester coped very well with all the diverted aircraft, all local hotels really pulled all the stops out. Local coach operators had a good day.

Got a problem, come to MAN we can cope.

PilotPieces 3rd Feb 2009 09:24

FAB has snow on the runway and I have only seen two in this morning.

GULF69 3rd Feb 2009 13:15

I know some crew on a Challenger that are due to take off from FAB this evening... hope they make it

It was tongue in cheek...Well spotted...:ugh:
.However, You, like many show your total lack of any understanding of winter ops. Which is why it's not worth the many explanations given.
Best treat the complainers with the same disdain they give to those who work very hard to get things running again.:*

GULF69 4th Feb 2009 05:58

well our challenger got our of FAB ok...

WATABENCH 5th Feb 2009 09:20

I believe BRS, EMA & LTN all closed early this morning, BRS must be open now as have heard a/c over my house!

groundhogbhx 5th Feb 2009 20:17

BHX closed again this morning, not really surprising the way the white stuff was covering the roads as soon as the sweeper had passed. All back to normal at 0928:ok:

WATABENCH 6th Feb 2009 07:29

BRS, EXT AND LTN All this morning,

BRS is closed til at least 1030, but the way the snow is in the area at the moment i guarentee it will be longer, the A38 is impassable at the airport and there is thunder and lightning to boot.

EXT is now open again at 0800

LTN is closed til at least 1200

mathers_wales_uk 6th Feb 2009 11:41
