Question

Stuck offshore... no flights today

How bad actually is it? Is the airport closed?

Yeah, fraid that I heard the airport was closed on the news earlier...

However it may have re-opened, not sure how bad it is up there at the moment.

Here in Dundee we have got blue skies and blazing sunshine........ Temps have soared, its at least 2 degrees in the shade!!

Hope you get home alright mate

Cheers,
Grant

Still the odd snow shower, roads in the city seem ok, but out of town is another matter. Roads shutting and reopening etc.

Cheers Guys!

At least I can get an honest answer from you lot!
I asked the guys in the office and the barstewards just filled my head with non-sense (2-3ft of snow, storms etc..).

I can't win!! I want rid of the snow so I can get home.
But then I'll want it again so I can go play in it!

There have been some flights up North today, though no departures until after 12. Currently a few flights on deck offshore and en-route.

Not too many problems in the central section (ABZ departures), and the Southern North Sea seems to be unaffected.

I don't get the Flight Supervisors E-mail anymore...... just have to listen to our Radio operator and he's not full of info at the best of times.

RB5, Scatsta's clear, just seen the 3rd departure of the day taking off. They're way behind mind you - no flights yesterday and this was just the 3rd flight today. Guessing Flightline will be flying late tonight.

Numptie,

Thanks for the Bristows link - it has the Scatsta fixed wing details as well, I use this flight every week to get to and from work in Aberdeen. Notice that the details are also available via WAP - nned to give this a go.

Kevin.
