My wings are like a shield of steel.
I have heard that BHX is now shut. Luckily Manchester is still open and obviuosly is more than capable of taking alot of the diverts. The only issue it has is that i think it can only handle one A380 at a time, but i doubt that will be a big problem.
Cyprus Air aircraft slipped of Taxiway this morning. Its on BBC news.
Traffic is picking up but the BIG and OKM holds have had the same aircraft in them for over an hour.
G-VFIT has done over 30 orbits and has been in the BIG hold for about 1:20 mins.
