Airport Delays

[HiloJulie]

That would be bad as well. But it would be just fine if the airport had spare engines on standby with all the staff needed to replace the engine, fix the runway, and fly the plane. You can imagine the chaos if the spare parts dept didn't have a spare baggage scanner on hand as well in case one of them broke down at the same time.

I have no idea who is claiming there should be spare jet engines and staff needed to replace those jet engines, but I do find it interesting that crews AND equipment were dispatched and flown into the Hilo Airport from Oahu BEFORE the actual shutdown of the Kona Airport, which occurred at 4:20PM Monday and by 4:30 AM Tuesday, the runway was repaired and opened.

How much do you think that bill will cost?

Oh, and they found more cracks/chunks/potholes and/or chunking.
