If all those flights are cancelled then most passengers will have gone. It does seem crazy that some contraption doesn't exist that enables refuellers to get up to the wing without climbing ladders that are not only likely to blow over from under them but which could also damage the aircraft. Some form of hydraulic ramp with protective rails around it must surely exist?
Most unlike Jet2 to cancel. Hopefully they will rearrange for tomorrow, after all people pay 'the extra' to travel on Jet2 in the belief they won't be left high and dry.
Seems sensible to me. Its the end of the season with most flight probably going out with light loads. The cost of any diversions and subsequent delays far outways the cost of cancelling at this point in the season.
What about Ryanair?
It's the Sunday at the start of October half-term, I think it'll be quite busy today. The inbounds not so much
I would guess loads were more as its half term hols next week, not the best start to a weeks hol!
You would hope there be some sort of investigation to this, surly with all the Health and Safety these days a fueler should have a better contraption than a step ladder, although it’s a good tool when the weather is fine. But how many of ear aircraft would have got away if they could fuel them?
Are we sure all these are cancelled? LS257 for example doesn't show as being cancelled.
A very scary experience for any passengers on board poor buggers.
