Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Ray Finkle]

NCL it is then

 

[Ray Finkle]

Eurowing just gone around as did the EIR behind.

Sat in my living room about a mile and a half from BHX and it sounds bad out there.

 

[David_itl]

Hope you've battened down the hatches! Got FR24 filtered to show the London airports, BHX and MAN inbounds only.

 

[David_itl]

Eurowings going south? Wouldn't want to go south tonight.

 

[Ray Finkle]

EIR ATR from Shannon is now heading south east, Eurowings A320 from DUS is now holding to the north as is Flybe.

We have 4x Jet2 and an easyjet closing in.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Flybe is returning to EDI.

The Jet2 and easyjet are joining Eurowings and another Flybe in the hold.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Jet2 from Tenerife went around but Eurowings and another Jet2 from Malta managed to land. Flybe from GLA going around as I type.

We have easyjet on approach with 4x Jet2 and another Flybe holding.

 

[GliderPilot]

Two Jet2's holding that went around, an interesting night, got my scanner on

 

[David_itl]

Must be absolute nightmare to see where you will land. FDX6201, although not a BHX arrival, has had an "interesting" evening. FR24 says it was going to STN but routed to EMA, went round 2 or 3 times, headed to MAN, went round the hold and went back south perhaps back to STN. Which would technically mean it never diverted to begin with?!

 

[Ray Finkle]

G-JZHM made it in, G-JZHO is having another go.

I'll leave you with the updates as I'm off to bed. Early start tomorrow

I notice on FR24 that a BA A320 is currently in residence at BHX, a divert from LHR, an airfield apparently operating normally.

Begs the question, why BHX and not a local field e.g. Gatwick or Biggin or the City? BA seemingly do not like us do they?

 

[IanFarquharson]

BA is a LGW diversion not LHR
Wind in the SE so BHX was best bet

 

[mullion]

City and Biggin can not handle BA A320 and maybe LGW too busy or weather BA short haul tend to anywhere down south if they can
i:e BOH, CWL or STN.

It was a LGW div to LHR not LHR
Since gone back to LGW
Jet2 has gone around at BHX twice now gone to EMA

 

[Rickoo97]

LCY divert on its way in by the looks of it. 2 go arounds at LCY. HBJVP from Zurich is the aircraft

 

[BlueManc]

AUA33ZB OE-LWA ERJ195 VIE-MAN diverting to BHX

 

[Vinny94]

It's heading back to Vienna now, does anyone know the reason for the diversion?

 

[BlueManc]

Wind shear but surprised they didn't have another go. Nothing else diverted around that time.

 

[Land23R]

The strength of the wind gusts (up to 40 kts) and the partial crosswind were similar to some other airports but it's wind shear that inevitably causes problems at MAN. A flybe diverted to LPL earlier. BHX winds weren't as strong based on the metars.

 

[JENNYJET]

Hoping everyone was looked after and The Austrian crew gives a good report.
