I'm afraid I'm old enough to remember chalk being extensively used in airports.

I love that whiteboard, and I admire the clear writing despite what must be a stressful environment. In some ways better than the TV screens, at least in the use of colour.

There is a requirement in FT to not just post "bare links" - which could be here today and meaningless tomorrow. So here is a brief extract.

"Our engineers are working hard to fix the cable as quickly as possible. This is a top priority for us," it said.
