It's just a bit of Saturday sillyness Andrew.

The majority of the Flybe planes inbound for Southampton Airport seem to be heading for BHX.

4 flights diverted in from Southampton due fog, BE148, BE1018, BE987, BE1609, G-JEDT, G-ECOH, G-PRPB, G-JECM

Forgive me for my ignorance but why divert to Birmingham? Was Bournemouth and Gatwick also fogged in? Perhaps those airfields had a curfew I really do not know.

Probably due to Flybe having a base at BHX and therefore being more capable of dealing with diverted passengers and getting them to their destination.

 

[JENNYJET]

Thank you Coathanger, nice thought that BHX čan excel at handling diverts, news of such excellence could reach far and wide within the airline business.

 

[Matt995]

Nowegian B738 G-NRWY diverted in earlier as IBK2411 TFS-LGW due to issues with the ILS system onboard the aircraft

 

[JENNYJET]

Now then, what is not happening at Gatwick for Norwegian to have to come to Birmingham? ILS better here? Or VFR not permitted? The big fog perhaps meaning more diverts!

low cloud base at Gatwick, aircraft was unable to land due to not being able to perform an ILS approach, so came to BHX where the weather was better and performed a RNAV approach to Runway 15

 

[JENNYJET]

Thank you Matt.

 

[Matt995]

plenty of diversions tonight from London City due to fog, BA & LX E190s, 2 x AZ E170s, City Jet RJ85 and even a Stobart E190, must be a busy terminal tonight!

 

[mullion]

Wow most of the south is blanketed in thick fog

 

[Ray Finkle]

Alitalia E190 EI-RNC is diverting in.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Ryanair from DUB is currently holding over Cannock. The two Wizz in front (1x A320 and 1x A321) managed to land as did the Air France A320 just before them.

 

[Ray Finkle]

EIR from Cork has diverted to Bristol.

Ryanair and another EIR from DUB are still holding.

Everything else has landed okay.
