B#gger! My wife was due to arrive 2moro after cancelling at last minute when I flew here on Friday! Checked Faro website, departures all listed as 'scheduled' but several arrivals showing over 45 minutes delay. Remember arrival/departure hall regularly flooded when heavy rain.

My daughter has just taken off from Luton. Due to take off 0710 this morning so not to bad.
Re: FARO AIRPORT CLOSED
My son's still on the tarmac at Gatwick, should have been arriving at 10.50am. Apparently the pilots just announced they'll be leaving in 10 minutes. Fingers crossed.
Both Flightstats & Faro airport arrivals webpage have kept telling me for the last hour that the flight in airbourne & only 5 minutes behind schedule .

Re: FARO AIRPORT CLOSED
thank goodness for cvo.com...as usual our local english "newspapers" have zero info..eg the portugalnews managed to tell us a football result under "breaking news".the resident nothing, algarve daily news nothing...but then the airport web site tells me that a plane I had to go and meet is still on schedule for 9.15 although it hast even taken off from the uk..not a word about the roof falling down.
