BA57 JNB = ARPN

BA55 JNB is running, but late, 19:10 at the moment compared to 18:25. This sometimes is due to trying to consolidate passengers and displaced crew from the cancellation. I can't think what the JNB airport restriction would be, so any intelligence welcome. Jet fuel shortage?

Strong winds today means that departures are running late today and haven't improved recently as I would normally expect. The ATC report suggests there may be poor weather later today too. It's the SW again, gusts of 30 knots. 664 departures of which 339 are for BA.
