If that’s the case, then why build a temp runway and not use the LCY fascilities that are readily available.

I guess its because legally, as a result of constraining planning constraints, the airport would need to seek special dispensation in orer to open, and its probably not something they want to do because of their good neighbour policy. The other stupid thing (I say stupid given the overall skill of the pilots and the manouverability of the aircraft) is that the aircraft would need to be approved to use the Airport as part of the licence.

Hi[:)]

Looks like it’s going to be next to LCY!

Could be quite interesting for commercial pilots in the area.

Shouldn’t effect LCY as they’ll probably start the flying in the afternoon once the Airport has closed (it is closed from Saturday lunchtime until Sunday afternoon). I should think they’ll be well out of the way for the LHR approach over central London.

HANDCUFFS???? 😮

Could have given them ideas…:rolleyes:

Probably just added fuel to the fire?!

I wouldn’t have thought so mate. Flyglobespan have got allot of problems and not enough aircraft to cover there routes. IMHO i think it would be wise for them to get all there long haul aircraft back operating for them and try and sort out the mess that has been there long haul services.

OK Luke, you’re just doing it to wind me up now right?:eek:

LOL, well modified.

On the subject of correct grammar, to compound the fact that one single, solitary word doesn’t constitute a sentence, paragraph, or anything else worthy of being described as a written example of the English language, you neglected the inclusion of a capital letter and a full stop. 😉

Well in actual fact it should have had inverted commas I guess, but it was not supposed to be a sentence, simply a correction of an (regular) error.

“Would need a quarry full of aggregate to build up a plateau at that end.”

Why?

I suggest you look at Madeira ariport for an innovative solution to a runway extension.

A runway extension at LBA is in the Government’s long term strategy for UK airports and the winning bidder will be more than aware of this.
