Runway closure Notam now expires on the 15th of October. But 25 approach lighting U/S until the 5th November. So we shall see if they open early for daylight ops or wait until everything is working.

Fully operational from 11Nov as far as I know.Restricted opening hours as before 0900-1700 mon-fri and closed weekends except for military movements due to lack of atc controllers.
