Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

Menzies was operating the fuel farm for Leeds Bradford the last time I was there. AFAIK it's that company’s only function at LBA.

I see we have 2 Ryanairs heading down to STN before continuing to ALC and AGP, are we short of fuel again I wonder?

9th July. LS206 did a few loops on approach and then diverted to MAN, landing 1424. Was LBAs runway blocked?

The was a drone seen flying the golf course which is within the air restricted zone, hence the airfield was closed for a short period of time.

I hope the offenders were caught?

And shot at dawn! Latest tactics from they who shall not be named?

 

[Seasider]

I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Len Fish]

Another village missing its idiot.

 

[Bob O'JOb]

I wouldn't be surprised.

A ridiculous accusation, to be expected on here though.

I think you need to lighten up a little, it was clearly a tongue in cheek joke

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this but I was just looking to book my Christmas market trip for this year. I’ve been to Wroclaw a few times and loved it. Looking on Ryanair there are no flights from the end of October to the beginning of December. After a quick search online Wrocław Airport is to close for 6 weeks for major maintenance works and obviously all flights are therefore cancelled.

This morning KLM fromAmsterdam cancelled. EMB.170 positioning from Sumburgh 1050 to operate outbound to Amsterdam.

According to FR24, G-GDFK has diverted to Dubrovnik on the way back from Zakynthos. FK throwing another hissy fit? The 733s do seem to be getting a bit temperamental if so

operational issue (fuel stop)

Not sure weather it’s because the 733 is full and heavy and can’t takeoff fully loaded from ZTH (although it left LBA this morning full) or there is a fuel issue at ZTH but it’s not tech as far as I know. Or it’s to heavy to fly back with a full load of fuel so has to make a stop somewhere.

Just on the subject of 733s, I noted one operating out to DLM from LBA, this afternoon!

Its hotter in ZTH so density altitude is higher, also more fuel is generally required for westbound flights due headwinds.

Not saying you're wrong but ZTH is a relatively short run for a 737-300 and it should be more than doable direct ZTH - LBA.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

But if the temperature is at 38 degrees in the heat of the day, with a full payload, with very little wind to assist the lifting process or reporting it as “variable” unfortunately the 300 will need tech stop.

Hell even a 737-800 in those circumstances may do.

14 for departures and 32 for arrivals, due to fog. That will have kept ATC busy, this morning.
