Weather related flight disruption at Dublin Airport continued today with delayed flights and diverted aircraft. Parking stand allocation was one problem that operators had to contend with today as the airlines and airport attempted to recover from yesterday's 170 cancelled flights. This morning, compacted snow and ice prevented refuelling tucks from accessing stands with the result that several aircraft including flight Continental 023 had to divert to Shannon for refuelling. Ryanair accused the Dublin Airport Authority of being the "Keystone Cops" of airport management due to their failure to clear snow from ramp areas and aircraft parking stands. The airline called on the DAA to compensate airlines and passengers for flight delays which were not weather related but resulted from the DAAs mismanagement and incompetance.
