i was wondering why the Ryanair and Wizz diverted as the weather although foggy was not that bad looking at the METARS giving RVRs of 1200m to 1500m.

Hi Glenn,

I noticed Swissport handled LS1204 on Saturday evening.

Are Jet2 doing a phased switch or hasn’t it started handling at Birmingham yet?

BTW, I’m very impressed with the Jet2 operation from what little I have seen, just don’t forget to smile when you are dragging a 30 kilo case across the ramp!

I hope it's the Beast's smaller sibling, The Pest For the West, if anything does come this way.

Over 100 flights cancelled at Heathrow in anticipation of snow. What on earth is going on? The concrete and tarmac down south are not covered in snow. We need to get a grip.

And the Bloomin schools are shut today as well

Problem at LHR is that the place is saturated. Anything that causes a few delays will result in major issues. The airlines prefer to decide which flights to cancel to make operations more sustainable than loose random flights.

I was thinking that myself. If as they claim LHR cannot cope with deicing in what is a stuff breeze and a bit of chill with a dusting of snow then it has problems.

I have just been out here in Manchester very difficult to say how much snow has fallen
but it looks and feels more like Siberia with visibilty poor in blowing snow and everything
has just iced up solid yet the runway is clear of snow but closed at present for de-icing

There looks to be ATC issues at the moment (not sure exactly what).

There have been diverts to BRS, MAN and EMA.
