    Government is driving the NATS to close the airspace, and can and will hide behind NATS and the Met Office ….

    Do you have any evidence for this, other than your own opinion or the opinions of others?

    Yes, it’s a B747.

    Quite a few KLM heavies about over Holland and Germany, too.

    Plus the odd Air Berlin B737 and Germanwings A319.

    It is bizarre that an organisation like NATS can hold the entire industry to ransom by denying access to airspace.

    Holding an entire industry to ransom?

    I wasn’t aware that NATS were witholding access to airspace under their control for the purposes of extortion.

    This is terrible! Perhaps you could enlighten us as to what their demands are?

    It may well come down to who’s got the most adventurous lawyers. 😎

    IMHO this event is a classic example of over-reaction by non-aviation type politicians, responding to less than (very much less than) well understood meteorological phenomena. It’s eerily like the global warming “junk science,” and should serve as a warning to all of the power of science run amok……

    Interesting…..

    However, in our reality the restrictions weren’t imposed by politicians at all, but by ATC professionals.

    Can those Chinese lanterns be a hazard to aviation?

    Perhaps, but probably not in the UK at the moment. 😎

    Just to add to Ship 741’s post and kind of apologise for comments I have made in the last few days that have been made with bad information.

    It’s no easy matter to admit when one has been in the wrong, EGPH.
