CYUL\/Montreal<\/strong> Due to construction, no GA\/BA ops allowed<\/strong> 1600-2000 local from May 15-Jun 30. From Jun 8-10 this is lifted for the Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

LFZZ\/France<\/strong> ATC have announced they will take part in the national general strike planned for May 22. Another ATC strike<\/strong> is planned for the LFMM\/Marseille sector spanning the weekend May 26-28.<\/p>\n

LFMN\/Nice<\/strong> With the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix happening this month, expect the airport to be busier than usual<\/strong>. They\u2019ve published an AIP SUP (042\/18) on it, but it just reiterates the normal procedures: slot and parking confirmation are required in advance.<\/p>\n

WIZZ\/Indonesia<\/strong> The Mount Merapi volcano<\/strong> in central Java erupted early on May 11, forcing nearby WAHH\/Yoghakarta\u00a0International Airport to temporarily close. Volcanic Ash cloud has since dissipated, and authorities say further eruptions are unlikely.<\/p>\n

HBZZ\/Burundi<\/strong> Canada is now warning against all travel<\/strong> to Burundi, due to ongoing political tensions, civil unrest and daily armed violence. A referendum is taking place on May 17, and demonstrations are expected over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

HLMS\/Misrata<\/strong> Airport is set to re-open this week, after suspending air traffic two weeks ago to carry out maintenance on the runway. Security is still a major issue<\/strong> here though, as the airport has been forced to close on several occasions this year due to ongoing clashes between local militia.<\/p>\n

EGGW\/Luton<\/strong> Disruption expected over the holiday weekend May 25-30, as ground staff including firefighters, baggage handlers, and security staff, are planning to go on strike<\/strong> at various different times.<\/p>\n

ORZZ\/Iraq<\/strong> All airports in the country re-opened<\/strong> on May 12, following a 24hr closure for the elections.<\/p>\n

YSCB\/Canberra<\/strong> Canberra don\u2019t like receiving diverts without having an agreement in place. In Mar 2017, Qantas claim the airport refused to let their diverted B738 from departing again until a charge of $18,000 was paid by credit card – the usual fee should be around $2000.<\/p>\n

FAZZ\/South Africa<\/strong> More reports of \u201cfollow-home\u201d armed robberies of foreigners travelling to\/from airports. Ten separate incidents at FAOR\/Johannesburg on Apr 27, and one at FALE\/Durban on May 13.<\/p>\n

KPGV\/Greenville<\/strong> The runway repair work was completed four days ahead of schedule, and the airport reopened on May 15.<\/p>\n

RPLL\/Manila<\/strong> The airport is reporting numerous potholes, soft spots and uneven pavement on its taxiways and apron. None reported on the runways so far, but this time last year the airport was forced to shut down one runway for a few hours to repair a big pothole.<\/p>\n

VOTV\/Trivandrum<\/strong> Shortage of parking bays expected from now until the end of Aug. All night-stops require approval 24hrs in advance.<\/p>\n
