Hi Sandy
I can find any information and wouldn-t know why it was closed.
How did you find out..

Hi Gary

Thanks for your reply. We found out because our son was flying to Almeria on that day and no-one had been told why the airport had been closed, so we were worried in case there had been an accident. But we found out later that apparently they had done some concreting on one of the runways and after one Monarch flight had landed and suffered some damage and later 2 other aircraft had the same problem, they realised that the concrete had not completely set!!! I may be old but I would have thought it was common sense to check before they let anything land!

Anyway thank you for trying to help. Meanwhile my son is having a wonderful holiday in Roquetas de Mar and is due home next Thursday. Let's hope Birmingham haven't decided to concrete the runway!
