Looking at Flightaware it appears that the Jet2 from Newquay never actually operated.

Looking at Flightaware it appears that the Jet2 from Newquay never actually operated.

B738 G-GDFF operated Birmingham to Newquay, then several training flights around Newquay before diverting to Manchester. EXS300T & EXS301T

Birmingham ATIS at 1953 giving out runway 15 in use, expect an ILS approach, nothing about the airfield being closed??

Is it open now?

 

[Creguk]

My flight from Aricife has now been cancelled. What are Tui's options here...someone here said the airport actually closes at 1am and we've been told they will try and get us hotel rooms.

Latest update 19:53 hrs

Following the aircraft incident today, the runway has reopened and operations have resumed. All passengers must check flight details with their airlines and follow advice issued by them. We understand the frustration and apologise for the disruption this has caused. Our teams have worked as quickly as possible, in line with strict protocols, which must be followed to ensure a safe reopening of the runway following a prolonged closure.

Thanks Matt. Checking on Flightaware.com EXS300T & EXS301T do show as training flights at NQY but no sign of a flight back to BHX or MAN, although I appreciate that at showed on BHX arrivals.

HB-AFN first departure at ~20:10 from runway 15 to Frankfurt

Thanks Matt. Checking on Flightaware.com EXS300T & EXS301T do show as training flights at NQY but no sign of a flight back to BHX or MAN, although I appreciate that at showed on BHX arrivals.

There are two flights under EXS301T today on FR24 for G-GDFF, one being NQY-NQY training/circuit bashing and one being NQY-BHX, which then diverted to MAN

Looking at BHX arrivals and departures, not just Jet2, but can imagine some serious disruption next 2/3 days for many airlines with aircraft out of position and crew out of hours. Smack bang at start of school holidays, so sadly 1000's will be affected. Terminal today, well just can't imagine

Wow, what a week for our family holiday. Started with a slight delay on the way out due to the ATC issue, then returning we were due to depart Lanzarote at 9.30pm, to then be told the flight was cancelled. Offered overnight accommodation in a hotel from Tui and then returned to the airport at 9am for an 11am departure, only for that to be delayed until 3.30pm. We were told the aircraft had issues with the AC so a replacement 737 was sourced.

Not great when all you want to do is get home.

I've read we can get compensation for the delay too. Well, at least the second delay!

TUI having a mare tonight with 3 of their dreamliners, all seem to be heavily delayed tonight

TOM7336 to Tenerife, 17:55 departed at 20:27 on B788 G-TUII
TOM7386 to Palma, 18:25 departed at 21:13 on B789 G-TUIM, subbing for B788 G-TUID

TOM7272 to Larnaca, 15:30 TUE, finally departed at 20:46 on B788 G-TUID a wopping 29 hours late!

G-TUID appeared to had gone tech Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Matt995]

and the TUI B788 G-TUID saga continues.......

so TOM7272 to Larnaca departed 29 hours late and landed at Larnaca 28hrs 50 minutes late

however either due to crew hours or the aircraft going tech again, it has yet to depart Larnaca back to Birmingham on TOM7273 (which was due 02:10 Wednesday morning)

current arrival at Birmingham is estimated now around 02:10 Friday morning, only a mere 48 hours late!!! - really have to feel sorry for the 300 or so passengers being mucked around by TUI

 

[BhxJack]

Finally looks like g-tuid is pushing back from larnaca a near 48 hours late

Air India 789 just diverted in due to weather at LHR.

Aircraft is VT-TSP which may still have the Vistara livery.

Wasn't weather at LHR, radar showing it as clear and not being affected by showers

 

[Scottie Dog]

There were a number of LHR inbounds, from the Clacton sector, that routed north and over Coventry before heading back down toward Bovingdon.

Apologies, I was told it was due to storms in the area. It would be interesting to know the actual reason?
