Well 2+ bases Ryanair's are running in late tonight so might be staying open for a bit longer. EI-EJB is due in at 22:30 on the FR156 from Dublin whilst EI-EBO is due in at 22:56 on the FR2483 from Riga.

Riga has made the time up and had began its descent into LBA due in at 22:31. Won’t think they’d close they runway on them with one minute to spare!

He got given a short cut by Scottish ATCC through uncontrolled airspace. Hence he made the time up.

If the flights are due in the not too distant future they don't close the airport and send them over the hill, they wait for their arrival. If the delay is significant though and it means a real delay in the contractors starting on the airfield lighting, then they have to divert.

Last night I was on duty and I don't think the runway contractors did anything. I saw all their vehicles gathered on taxiway Delta at about 11pm but I didn't see any of them anywhere on the airfield afterwards.

Perhaps it was a team meeting to decide if if was worth starting in view of the snow forecast. Perhaps not worth starting only to have to stop again if the snow arrives.
