I notice that the NOTAM re aerodrome works has now been updated:
L3351/18: Hawarden: Aerodrome limitation Q) EGTT/QFALT/IV/NBO/A/000/999/5311N00259W005 AD NOT AVBL TO ACFT DUE WIP. RFFS CAT 0. AIRBUS AUTHORISED ACFT EXEMPT. FROM: 02 May 2018 19:00 GMT (20:00 BST) TO: 26 Jul 2018 20:00 GMT (21:00 BST) SCHEDULE: MON-THU 1900-2000 EXC MAY 07 28
Perhaps someone who is a pilot can decipher this better - but I take this to say that the field is not available Mon-Thur between 19.00 and 20.00 from 2 May-26 Jul (except May 7th and 28th) unless your flight is Airbus approved?

The most significant thing on there in my view is the lack of fire cover (RFFS CAT 0), which is clearly why the airfield is closed, apart presumably from the Beluga and maybe the shuttle. I doubt Airbus would give authorisation for any other movements for insurance reasons alone.

Am I right in assuming it's only for an hour a night Monday-Thursday though? In which case probably not too much impact on regular ops?
