SKYFALL: BØTANIKKÄ GROUNDS 12 FLIGHTS IN DRAMATIC AIR TRAFFIC SHAKE-UP

In a decision shaking the very foundations of the Bøtanicäl skies, airport authorities at BØTANIKKÄ INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT have announced a sweeping reduction in departures—from 53 planned take-offs to just 41.

The cause? A volatile cocktail of congested skies, strained air traffic corridors, and mounting pressure on the region’s air traffic controllers, many of whom are said to be "running on espresso, instinct, and divine intervention."

As a result, 12 flights have been grounded effective immediately, with carriers scrambling to adjust their itineraries, pacify irate passengers, and rebook golden-ticket hopefuls onto whatever wings remain.

“This isn’t just about logistics,” an anonymous source within Terminal Control whispered. “It’s about survival. The skies above Bøtanikkä are full—and if we don’t make space, the whole system could collapse.”

The announcement triggered a chain reaction of blinking cancellation signs across departure boards, prompting gasps in the Grand Concourse and tears in Gate Lounge B. Airlines are now racing against the clock to reshuffle routes and avoid reputational turbulence.

Affected flights span both Terminal A and Terminal B, and include high-profile departures from fan-favorite airlines and debuting underdogs alike.

Passengers are urged to check gate updates immediately. Rumors swirl that some flights may still be salvaged, depending on airspace negotiations and divine weather patterns.

One air traffic controller simply muttered, “We needed 12 to fall so 41 could fly.”

Welcome to the high-stakes game of take-off roulette. The sky has never felt heavier.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Terminal A faves 🤞

My laptop has been broken for a couple of weeks which has been v inconvenient so I haven't visited the other terminal yet!

I’m predicted to lose some point scorers as well as myself! Guess it’s good to start with worst case scenario!

So from now and on, all the pilots from respective airlines should look up for the messages on board their cockpit...you're either On Time and cleared to pushback and take-off (you made it to Finals), or you're cancelled (you're DNQ nocheer)

We will start with our AQ first.

3 more good qualifiers there, announcing a lot of my semi 1 faves early!

(unfortunately that also includes Aelandor aw - I had a feeling they would struggle unfortunately but I really liked this song, still need to do a second listen of semi 1 to finalise my ranking but it was 3rd for me on first listen </3)

edit: that was @ Neliönoir/Terra/FARC - good to see Flynnonda finally qualifying again though, their first final since BJSC 151!
