Amsterdam Airport at a Standstill

[cyberblue]

That would make it a category 3 hurricane!!
It was windy earlier but nothing like 120

Ok it still windy though lol

Just checked and there's no weather or traffic control issues between here and my lounge.

Loads of flights cancelled according to arrivals info at AMS.

 

[Bill]

We are due to land at 13-50

My son says the plane is back at the terminal EZY1831 and loads of people have got off.

The plane doors are still open and they have a 12 noon departure slot (was 7.05 am).

If they miss that he and his two pals are going to get off as well and spend the day in a pub.

I can also confirm there are no major issues between my front door and the pub.

I'm not sure they will let anyone else off. We need to be ready to go.

Do you know why the others got off?

 

[Bill]

Do you know why the others got off?

Not football fans. They had meetings that they have now missed.

I think you could still make it even if you took off at 5

 

[Bill]

Yep. Let's see what slot we get.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Would you want to be stuck on a plane with those ****s?

 

[Bill]

It's chaos. One too many passengers have got off.

Hope it wasn't my son. Sat two rows behind you!

 

[worsleyweb]

Does anyone know how many fans we are taking out of interest?

 

[moh]

Reliably informed by a spotter friend of mine that it was an "Air Traffic Systems failure at Schiphol" !!

Ha - does your *ahem* "spotter friend" say it is fixed now

(you will have to put you binoculars down to reply)

A plane load less than anticipated by the sound of things.
