LPL received 40 diversions between Oct and DEC, 31 from Leeds/Bradford, 1 from Warton , 1 from IOM , 4 from Manchester, 3 from Gatwick and 1 from Luton.

3 diverts away to East Midlands and Bristol, plus an IOM service that returned to the island.


credit 09/27 winter

 

[A400]

31 from Leeds/Bradford

Quite a few. Most if not all LBA diverts will be Aer Lingus and Ryanair’s.

The majority were from LBA for sure.

So here on the LBA forum some members get very negative about LBA suffering with weather in winter. Now 31 diverts to LPL, admittedly not the only airport to receive them, is not a high % of all flights for a full quarter. Yes it’s still fairly high but LBA gets a far worse name than is fair. It’s been well documented that airlines operating from LBA will factor in weather risks. I remember well before LBA became as successful as it is now how many BA 111 diverts we received from MAN, amongst others. LBA is to some extent now a victim of its own success, but equally from time to time that clearly works to LPLs advantage. With advances in technology probably fewer diverts away from all airports than there used to be. Anyone have any comparable figures?

It’s not being negative just pointing out the diversions. LBA is the highest airport so suffers from weather more than others.

Them aswell.

Yes there were some Wizz services , but from the info I'm reading , not that quarter, it will be from January.

due to earlier en-route weather between Larnaca and Liverpool. We intended to stop for fuel in Milan however this impacted your crew legal working hours so we had no choice but to overnight delay your flight.

A couple of diverts from Manchester last night very late / early hours. Any Easyjet from Berlin and a Ryanair from Dublin. Not sure what the issue was.

EZY 9011 and FR 562

ATC shortage Apparently

The shortage was due a controller down due illness and not being able to get extra member of staff in to cover
