Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

I think one was VS450 which went to Gatwick

quote from Melbourne Orlando Mayor Paul Alfrey

People have asked what happened last night at our Melbourne-Orlando International Airport as numerous first tesponders were seen on the runway last night responding to an incident.
According to our Airport Director Greg Donovan - “a B787–9 TUI aircraft departing for Birmingham. UK, aborted their takeoff on runway 9R due to an alarm in the cockpit. While exiting the runway at Taxiway C, the aircraft's right main landing gear went into the grass.
Unable to continue the taxi, airport personnel immediately responded and have been deplaning the 350 passengers and transporting them via busses to hotels.
Mechanics from STS are working with ground crews and towing resources to move the aircraft. Once this occurs, mechanics will recertify the aircraft for a potential rescheduled flight tomorrow.
The flight is cancelled and the focus is on accommodation of the passengers.
There were no injuries. Airport staff, including OPS, MX, APD, and Menzies, along with Cliff, Mark, and myself will remain on scene throughout the recovery process. All of our team are working hard and working well to resolve the situation.
I want to commend our Airport team and first responders for working late into the night during this incident. Any incident on a plane is stressful and our airport team showed why they are among the best in the aviation field!

TOM601 Melbourne-Birmingham due 0700 Saturday morning, aircraft G-TUIN, still showing delayed at least 24 hours!

It was G-JZDA on the EDI diversion Matt. On a side note....do you know why both the Tui to ACE and Jet2 to MAH both returned to the terminal this morning ? Both in quick succession

I believe the TUI 789 to Arrecife returned back to stand with an ill passenger on board Karl, sorry no idea about the Mahon Jet2 flight.

1 diversion just after midnight (Monday 23rd June)

BA 357 from Nice, A319 G-DBCF, Heathrow diversion (curfue)

Today's Qatar flight to Doha will almost certainly be diverted, due to the attack by Iran on Doha.
All Qatari airspace is currently closed.

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Reiterating on from HPsauces post which is highly appreciated
Qatar airspace is now closed
UAE Airspace is now closed

This will have an effect on Qatar and Emirates flights.

EK37 tonight is now on route to Birmingham whether that will depart tonight is another question

Edit:Saudia Arabia Airspace Now closed

What a mess this world is in

Crazy world indeed. Old men and their power trips.

Incorrect. All down to fanatical religion.

Todays scheduled Doha unsurprisingly is cancelled, Emirates and Saudi shown as operating as normal.
Last nights Emirates also operated.

 

[gulftraveller]

Incorrect. All down to fanatical religion.

I live in the Gulf. I am with the former explanation: old men and their power trips.

Two Ryanair Stansted diversions today from Lisbon and Cork and one EasyJet Luton diversion from Prague all weather related.

Not strictly related to this thread but noticed Jet2 had two different A332s in today operating Faro and Barcelona.


Info via Ian's excellent site.
