BA213 BOS
cancelled during the afternoon. And an ISB service BA9154 but I don't think that was a passenger service.


Monday 8 April 2024

Today - for a change - we have currently no cancellations, so Storm Kathleen must have moved off somewhere. Timekeeping still isn't good though. 333 departures today and regulation is in place, so two reports, first on regulation, which is the more recent report, and then ATC.
