Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[White Heather]

Jet2 737 300 G-GDFK has gone tech down at Alicante so the return flight this evening will be delayed. Jet2 have dispatched 737 800 G-DRTX to Alicante on a rescue mission.

According to FR back in the air now so whatever the problem it can’t have been too serious.

737 800 G-DRTX is busy again after doing yesterday's ALC rescue. Its due into LBA at 1805 this evening from Kalamata.

I notice Jet2 from Antalya didnt arrive until 05:30 today. Looks like it picked up a 4 hour delay at Leeds yesterday PM. Presumably declared tech after its arrival from its previous flight.

It went tech on taxi out to the runway so went back to stand which delayed it.

It’s currently down to operate the Larnaca outbound at 15:20.

It wasn't a technical fault, the flight was rescreened due to a passenger security concern. There was then the issue of the crew going out of hours to get there and back.

Believe it did the passenger service Stansted -Kalamanta ... using a based aircraft at LBA. one presumes the the inbound Kalamata flight to Stansted was not booked at sufficient levels to make it profitable. Or it's another frequency added as of yesterday but without the aircraft in situ in Stansted just yet. Either way it looks like it was always planned that way.

There's been stop offs for fuel on others too. Ryanair via EMA, another via STN and Jet2 via NCL. Its reported elsewhere the shortage is due to delayed tanker deliveries, although no idea why.

Edit. Now seen that the supplier used has gone bust.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Does the airport supply all the fuel at the airport or do Jet2 'do their own thing?'

All fuel North side

Fuel problems continuing and the Fuerteventura still hasn’t left for the return leg

The airlines will contract directly with their chosen fuel supplier i.e Air BP, Essar, Harvest Energy etc. It is the fuel suppliers responsibility to then trunk fuel into the airport to meet the required uplifts whilst taking into consideration forecasts, tank ullages etc.

As has been stated elsewhere, a major supplier is currently not supplying.

So the airlines buy the fuel and its delivered to them at LBA. The airports role is to store it and deliver to the aircraft?

In a nutshell, yes, but each airport is slightly different The tank farms are either run by the airport, by specialist 3rd companies like Swissport or by the the fuel companies themselves i.e MASHCo, GASHCo, HHOpCo as JV's. After that it is the role of the various "into plane" companies to get the fuel to the wingtip.

The above doesn't cover Multiflight, as they will sell directly to the operator of the aircraft.

Ok, so in fact its an issue between the airline and their fuel supplier. Nothing to do with the airport.

Hard to say, as I don't work with LBA. They could potentially have a tank(s) out of service due to routine inspection, a technical issue or product quality concerns meaning fuel is quarantined.
