Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

Why they have fuel and passenger handling contract Speke is logical in every way possible for Blue

Bit strange in that it's taken up a MAN hold? Literally should go to Liverpool. The earlier Ryanair diversion flew more westwards to swing into LPL but this has done a "classic" London-MAN route.

Anticipating FR3557 /RYR3YZ EI-EFF RAK-STN will come to LPL

3 Blue B737 in MAN hold now

W61307 /WZZ6VL HA-LPO on WAW-LTN at 15000 feet seems to be heading in

The BA A320 is still.on the apron, apparently there is technical problem with it. Awaiting engineers.

A couple of Wizz Air flights for Luton diverted in.

A couple of Wizz Air flights for Luton diverted in.

Wizz do tend to stick to airports they already operate to when they need to divert. I wonder why they didn't opt for Doncaster today being nearer to Luton.

I guess they had their reasons, I don't know much about ATC ops, but its not uncommon for LTN flights to divert to LPL due to bad weather etc.

A Ryanair TFS-LBA diverted in last night. FR 2493. Was pretty gusty here, must have worse around Leeds/Bradford.

The runway at LBA points 320 degrees. During winter storms the wind direction is more likely to be between 240 and 270 degrees. Coupled with a challenging crossword component, aircraft with winglets are often subject to reduced operational limits during crosswind conditions.

It was windy here late afternoon and early evening but I think it died down after that.
