Reply To: Advice about delayed Qatar Airways flight

[SHK]

Thanks all for your valuable input and thoughts. I suppose QA + airport management would have probably known that delays would be expected due to the weather conditions, backlog of other flights taking off from Manchester airport, paucity of deicing equipment and indeed the deicing teams- I feel it would have been just better to delay boarding; instead of having all the passengers on the plane and restricted inside for 4 hours.

I am however surprised that snowfall in December in the UK, wasn’t really an extraordinary occurance!

Nevertheless, seems like pursuing it further is likely to be a waste of time.
