dark light

Anyone know why Prestwick 21/03 closed?

As the title says, there was a tristar and a C17 in, but not sure why they closed 21/03 untill today.

Does Ryanair issue gas masks or does one have to purchase them from the flight attendants?

Seemingly a discount is available should you anticipate a ‘gas leak’ online…:p

You should know, it was you I threw it at 😎

I wondered what that odd smell was that kept following me around for most of the holiday, I just thought it was you. Actually, indirectly I guess it was you. 😀

Anyway… 🙂

Is that why he’s been banned from all air travel for the next three years?

Ryanair declared an emergency after a toilet malfunction caused a ‘toxic waste hazard’ inbound from Ciampino, gas masks were issued.;)

the tristar and c17 were weather diversions from Brize
the runway closure could have been something to do with the C17 and Im not going to say why ( dont fancy the MIB at my door yet again) :cool::cool:

Sounds like they were using it as Europe’s longest, linear, remote stand again then…

And yes Kev, I hate it when the Motherwell Intelligence Bureau call round as well. 😀

Could it have something to do with the Large amount of Military aircraft in, Includeing the “New” Nimrod Spy planes.

Nothing to do with the Nimrod

Dunno… NOTAMs don’t say:

) EGPX/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5531N00436W005
FROM: 08/12/01 14:10 TO: 08/12/02 14:00
E) RWY 03/21 CLSD

Q) EGPX/QMRLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5531N00436W005
FROM: 08/11/30 13:42 TO: 08/12/01 14:00
E) RWY 03/21 CLSD

But it looks like it was closed 30th and up to 14:00 on 1st December, opened for 10 minutes, and is now closed again until 14:00 tomorrow

Until today, but from when?

Have a look at the NOTAMS.

For those of you that don’t know, 21/03 is the runway, not the 21st March… 😉
