Anyone in the Tower for an explanation? This looks indeed like the most inefficient way to handle traffic.


I am sure that APP, TWR and GND, all did the best they could with what they had at that moment.
My question is why were they down to a single Rwy Ops?
And out of curiosity why ARR and DEP ...

Would be interesting to know why the SAME runway was used for take-offs and landings in OPPOSITE directions.
ARR on 07L
DEP from 25R

This resulted in multiple diversions :
SK CPH > AMS
SN ARN > LGG
SN MUC > LGG
SN GOT > OST
SN WAW > OST
SN ZTH > LUX
SN LIN > OST
3O NDR > LGG

I guess it's nice for a crew to do those position fllights...

As the drivers in Geilenkirchen would say : "No talking payload".


Sorry TaCo.

The former CEO of Cotonou once told me that AF would prefer to use an A350 but due to the RWY length, 2400m, they must use a 772.
