maybe now they can get some plans together like diversion to other airports and laying in extra trains etc,couldn't be that difficult with the availability of wind directions et al

it's more the imposition of changing travel planes that are the problem.

the overland systems are quite capable of dealing with the extra volume but the travelers aren't prepared to pay the extra cost.

@ dan;

sometimes panic is the best thing to do in order to survive. it's why it's an instinctive reaction.

i think its still early days for the gov etc to know exactly what steps to take.

i say err on the side of safety and listen to the airlines, while making sure the airlines if they fly are positive it's safe to do so and in doing so accept all responsibilities. same with passengers. tell them they fly wit any given airline at there own risk etc.

the airlines nore the passangers can have it both ways.
