We have all tuned in to Sky News coming up to Christmas and seen people sleeping in sleeping bags in Heathrow Airport as they try to get home. Mr. Jacobs also indicated that he frequently has to talk to airlines. He is constantly talking about this cap and the limitations it places on his airport. Is it conceivable that on 22 or 23 December somebody trying to get home to Dublin from Melbourne to see family could be told the flight has been redirected to Edinburgh or Shannon?
