[ACARS] Unusual

Fri, 17 May 2002 14:45:09 +0100

Hallo Hans and list,

The reason for the use of a 747-430 on the Frankfurt-Heathrow route may
well be that part of the Swanwick control centre (which replaces(?) West
Drayton as the ATC centre for S. England) went down this morning.  Can
you imagine the chaos and backlog at Heathrow?  I'm glad I am not there
waiting for a flight!

Cheers,

Jacob
