Apologies if this has already come up.
Today at Gatwick the runway was closed for a couple of hours because of a Transall 737, burst its tyres on landing on one of its undercarriage legs. Hence delaying flights whilst they cleared the runway. As the other one has not got ILS capability and also alot of the bigger aircraft require a longer runway to take off on (obviously) 😉 .
I’m not much of a commercial “know it all” 😀 so I could of spelt the airline wrong or possibly got the aircraft type wrong.
Thanks
Chris
