Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Aviador]

2 fuel emergencies heading towards Manchester.

 

[David_itl]

In addition to those 2

EXS71Q PDV-BFS G-JZHD
EZY64PE /U23174 AMS-GLA G-UZLB

we also have

EZY25OW / U2705 MAN-BFS G-EZRX
EXS34W / LS186 ACE-GLA G-JZBM

QTR1E / QR15 DOH-LHR A7-BEX
RYR7FZ / FR3718 BUD-STN SP-RNB

TOM1LN / BY803 SSH-GLA G-TUMW

 

[Land23R]

And another fuel emergency from GLA.
I reckon that's 15 diverts for the day counting our own BFS returning. Hats off to the MAN team.
It's not as if there is a lot of spare apron space, more so with the TP and airfield work in progress and some stands unavailable.

What a contrast to the "No-Div" NOTAM that used to be posted all too regularly a few years ago.

 

[EGCC_MAN]

USAF C17 '1224' has just diverted in.

 

[David_itl]

Further ones gained overnight'
EZY150F / U22462 LIS-LTN G-UZHH
EZY68DF / U23212 FUE-EDI G-UZLP (arrived at 2334)

Diversions away per FR24
RYR893 FR893 EI-HHV went to STN (need to investigate this as that route NOC-MAN but it operated BGY-MSN
EZY2142 / U22142 AYT-MAN G-UZLD went to LYS

And of course we finished with a QTR 777 from LHR. One thing on Manchester side has been the wind which so far has not been bad at all after what has been expected by some, I noticed the TAF for today was 40Knts gusts which is about what we got at tops and down the runway

 

[mullion]

Then we didn`t finish with QTR we actually fiished with the star movement a UAE C-17

 

[BlueManc]

Can we safely say that the days of the infamous 'no diversions notam' are over?

I count 23 diversions in just over 24 hours and the only limitation was on terminating flights - Gas & go only later in the evening, which prompted a few 7700 pan fuel emergencies.

There were a few that were turned away (DHL, Bristol easyjet and I'm sure a lot of the LGW easyjets wouuld have ventured north rather than mainland Europe) but a massive effort by the airport team as a whole.

 

[Scottie Dog]

SQ52 diverted to EMA due (?) weather.

 

[mullion]

I believe fuel after two go arounds

He is on his way back so a grab and go was done

 

[BlueManc]

Very nice surpise!

Cargolux 747F LX-LCL LUX-PIK due winds at PIK

Word's spreading?

With credit to SPD Travels on X:
"Early this morning (0425) Lufthansa A340-300 D-AIGP operating LH423 Boston-Frankfurt diverted to Manchester with a medical emergency. It’s since departed back to Frankfurt"

Quite a rare visitor these days.

We do seem to get the Lufthansa diversions to and from the US if the aircraft is within a few hundred miles of MAN…I imagine we are the designated diversion for this area of Europe?!

 

[David_itl]

fog in the area

gone to LPL

FI440 TF-ICM
FR2142 SP-RKT
EI3322 EI-GPO

gone to BHX
AP1223 EC-NAB

gone to LGW
IB3692 EC-NIF

 

[Land23R]

The Manchester jinx strikes again. The only main uk airport to have fog this morning (a few others did in the night) until about 10.30 and it coincides with airfield works that means many arrivals on 23R have to back-track. ATC are going to have their work cut out the next few weeks.

 

[LS@MAN]

Indeed a pain are the taxiway works on Alpha but needs must!
The NOTAM is in place until 3rd March.

 

[BlueManc]

Heathrow 40kt 90° crosswind Thurs 28th March 1200-1900.

Could be interesting for the A380s (but our no code F divs notam still active)

 

[mullion]

Quite a few diversions in this afternoon with mainly Dublin affected but also Leeds
nothing of great interest but inc Aer Lingus A321 and Sun Express 738 a Netjets Citation
and at least 4 Ryanair

 

[David_itl]

Need to find the Netjets.


FR441 LPL-DUB EI-ENW
FR210 STN-DUB EI-EVC
FR9623 FCO-DUB EI-DYL
EI423 VCE-DUB EI-LRC
XQ886 ADB-DUB TC-SPS
FR1504 GDN-LBA SP-RKN
FR2333 KRK-LBA SP-RZO

How annoyed will people be with flying from Liverpool and arriving at Manchester,
