Dublin Airport
A spokesperson wrote on Twitter: “We’re planning for airlines to resume services early tomorrow morning.

“Please check with your airline BEFORE coming to airport.

“We’ll continue to update this feed with latest info. #StormEmma #sneachta #BeastFromTheEast.”

Depends how far down the pecking order you are:

1) Gold Ranked Ambassador
2) Gold Ranked Scum
3) Silver Ranked Ambassador
4) Silver Ranked Scum
5) Bronze Ranked Ambassador
6) Bronze Ranked Scum
7) Unranked Ambassador
8.) Unranked Scum

If you aspire to be Discounting Scum turn on Whistle. I may well try to virtually whistle for a taxi later tonight myself... every little helps.

An airport spokesman on the radio this morning got a little offended by this question.  He said the airport *is* open but it's the airlines that cancel the flights.  So nothing to do with the airport management!

Aircraft have a 20 minute window after de-icing to get off the ground. Safety comes first, if black ice occurs on wings, it's back to the stand for another de-icing.
De-icing is expensive, and extremely necessary. the logistics involved probably negates normal operations.

SIT TIGHT.

Your odds of dying in a plane crash are the same as winning the Irish lottery....
Title: Re: Airport reopening
Post by: Rat Catcher on March 03, 2018, 11:23:17 am
They're professionals in the cockpit Tony.

... although the majority of crashes are down to pilot error in one way or another. With ever increasing automation pilots often don't know what to do when something goes wrong and pressures on time/efficiency - keeping to schedules and avoiding penalties for the airline - have been proven to cause them to take shortcuts, occasionally with fatal consequences. One, perhaps relevant, that springs to mind is a couple of pilots trying to deice their wings by weaving across the exhaust of the plane taxiing in front of them to avoid going back to the stand and losing their slot, that plane dropped straight out of the sky after takeoff... food for thought.
Title: Re: Airport reopening
Post by: Shallowhal on March 03, 2018, 12:22:39 pm
And some are down to poor maintenance procedures /shortcuts so aircraft can be back in service asap.

Most Irish people have a few boxes to tick when choosing a holiday destination, one of those is the price  of a pint, That’s why there’s not a load of tourists wearing Celtic jerseys in Norwegia .

I think it works out at €10 pint, but that's not what I went over for.
In fact I don't recall seen a pub other than the bar in the airport

I travelled with some nervous fliers a couple of years back. Having researched the issue they concluded that the safest seats are in the middle of the aircraft beside the wings... seemed odd to me as that's where the engines are but sitting there seemed to relax them a little.
