Hainan HU753 inbound?

 

[mullion]

Yes Hainan has arrived at Man as as Finnair which showed as diverted to LPL yet both Singapore have diverted as has Sun Express so in general a mix

 

[Westland Wessex HC2]

Power cut in the General Area, affected most terminals

 

[Scania1800]

EY,EK should depart at 1, meaning that we will see 2 A380s, saudia and Qatar possibly alongside the etihad and 2 emirates

Let's hope Etihad liked what they saw and report back to HQ about starting a daily flight!!! Trying to remember when we last had Etihad in...

Surprised both Singapore's went to Heathrow but I guess that is their diversion airport of choice - surprised only in the fact of one went round in circles for a while only to divert at Heathrow's busiest time of the morning and probably went into the hold to get into there too.

Sadly it does not work like that!

Yes but if a diverted airline leaves with a bad impression I’m sure word gets back to those higher up. I remember a notorious poster who used to relish any given opportunity to bring up how BHX supposedly hacked off Air Asia X one time.

 

[tompo]

Whatever the Company, it just wants to land its passengers safely and as expediently as feasible. There is no time for analysis of “what if”. When investigating potential routes, the fact that a certain airport was once used for a diversion never forms part of the narrative.

 

[gulftraveller]

Tompo is right. The crew will be irritated about diverting, keen to complete the journey, not marvelling at the wonders of their diversion airport. Besides, crew have absolutely no contact with route planning staff, whose job is based entirely on considering research about potential passenger numbers on a route.

Air Asia X might not have enjoyed their diversion experience, but that is not likely to be the reason it never served BHX.

Two Bristol diversions this afternoon TUI 738M from Skiathos and A320 of EasyJet from Inverness.

Something to do with a fire alarm going off in the BRS tower requiring evacuation according to a post by Red Flyer on the CWL forum.

It was meant more tongue in cheek.

lots of delays at Birmingham yesterday (27th June):-

47 flights departures 1 hour or more late, (LS1283 RHO delayed until 10:00 tomorrow 17hours late), 5 were cancelled, 1 flight from the day before (TOM7336 TFS, departed 20 hours late on a B789 instead of a B738), so out of 146 scheduled departures, only 94 got away less than an hour late.

so thats 32% of all departures were 1 or more hours late. Do we know why? Airport issues, or ATC slot issues?

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

6 cancellations
Turkish 16.40 flight turned up 4 hours late
Ryanair to Budapest was heavily delayed and still is heavily delayed by until 1am which is 6 hours delay now.

Combination I think BHX had its usual morning security pantomime yesterday but looking at the LBA foruum a lot of slot delays for them exasperated by a planned runway closure

Still some delays currently showing for Tui and Jet2 of 2hrs plus on four flights with Jet2 Paphos having a 17hr delay now due in 19:25 tonight. LH early morning Frankfurt shows cancelled.

All taken off the airport website.
