Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Brum X]

I take that back, it has been cancelled due to 'operational reasons'.

There are some angry people on Twitter.

I can understand why people would be angry. Lets hope they dont cancel my flight to LPA as it only goes 1 x weekly and i believe BHX is the only UK airport they serve from LPA. Crikey

BA246 G-CIVI and SAA234 ZS-SXW looks like they are going to BHX

BA246 G-CIVI and BA106 G-CIVW looks like they are going to BHX

I can confirm G-CIVI is on approach and it looks like they'll be joined by G-VIIS from Delhi.

EDIT: Looks like South African A343 ZS-SXD in a special livery is also heading to BHX, it may even be followed by Singapore A380 9V-SKI (in their anniversary colours) by the look of things!!

 

[David_itl]

BA160 G-YMME is yours and the Springbok in my above (edited) post is also yours!

 

[jfy1999]

Looks like Singapore is going to Manchester, not too surprising. G-CIVW, G-VIIS and an American 767 from Raleigh-Durham have also gone up north. So far Birmingham has got G-YMME, G-CIVI (oneworld livery) and star diversion is ZS-SXD in a special livery.

As MAN stated A380 capacity is 3, then one out of BA, MH and SQ has to be gone before 11am when our EK arrives!

BA206 G-CIVB a candidate for BHX?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Wow, busy morning.

BA 747 G-CIVB from Miami looks as if it may be heading our way.

BA 747 G-CIVB from Miami looks as if it may be heading our way.

G-CIVB got into LHR but an earlier diversion which I missed was G-STBK from Mumbai. A couple of easyJet flights also diverted from LGW. If anyone wants to brave the weather...

Air Canada A333 C-GFAH has climbed back to 24,000 and is heading out over Wales. Going to DUB?

 

[Ray Finkle]

G-CIVB just landed at Birmingham.

Fantastic livery on ZS-SXD

 

[Ray Finkle]

G-YMME is departing now.

 

[jfy1999]

G-CIVB just landed at Birmingham.

FR24 said it landed at LHR at 0743, not sure why it said that.

The livery on the SA A340 was promoting Team South Africa for the London 2012 Olympic Games and hasn't been removed yet, I guess they'll just change any titles so the livery promotes Rio 2016.

 

[Ray Finkle]

G-CIVI is departing

 

[Ray Finkle]

G-CIVB departed about 20 minutes ago.

I think there's just the South African A340 left now?

 

[thunderchild]

Arrived from DUB this evening to see the BA and SA parked up - thought the pilot had took a wrong turn and gone to LHR!

 

[User001]

The South African has gone tech so will depart tomorrow.

Wow, I hope someone has some pictures!
