Birmingham: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Karl C]

..just like the Jet2 to Rhodes is doing right now....

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Wizz A321 (HA-LTA, WZZ1089) to CLJ has just done the same and is now taxiing for R33. I've never noticed these holds before, but I don't usually zoom in so close the the airport map.

EK38 (A6-ECY) is running very late, having only just departed BHX.

Swiftair ATR72-500 on BE796 from Birmingham to Glasgow returning back to BHX unknown why but it is orange/red on FR24

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

It returned to Stand so Medical Emergency at a guess

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

Don't know if it was linked and why BE796 returned but Airport staff saved a man from Cardiac Arrest around 9PM WMAS Attended. No idea if it is linked but of it is Well done Birmingham Airport Staff and the crew for saving the man's life.

It was unusual to see 33 take offs making a rapid right turn out mid afternoon due to torrential downpours. Turning at around 1.000ft. I bet that caused a stir in Kingshurst and Chelmsley Wood.

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

BHX Holding pattern seem to be over Chipping Norton we have Jet2, FR and Buzz Holding unsure If a TUI will be joining here in Darlaston It is only minor rain but big cloud cover that Ex United A319 I saw lights but then it displays into the clouds. Never saw them hold over there, got the blues game they say the rain is heavy so guessing Brum weather is bad.

 

[HPsauce]

It's very bad to the south and east of Brum currently (21.05).

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

We have rain now heard Lufthansa D-AIZZ fly over to Runway 15 but can't see it.

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

Flybe Did indeed divert due to a Medical Emergency Which Means the Cardiac Arrest might be linked. So once again well done for all saving the man and making it down safely. It did fly over my house but due to cloud I couldn't really see it.

 

[HPsauce]

I guess the shallow fog early morning caused the 2 TUI issues. We had a couple of hours of rain late evening ( not forecast!!). Everything looked good by 6.30am.

 

[Brum X]

Hey everybody,

Well I am on the flight currently on Stand 45 and we have a delay. Nothing to do with TUI or BHX. A Ryanair plane is stuck on the runway at Tenerife South and therefore huge congestion waiting to land at TFS. All planes are having to divert to ACE, FUE and of course LPA. The pilot has just announced we have to wait for a new slot and maybe on stand about 1 hour. Go pro ready and waiting once we start moving.

Looks like TUi to FUE snuck out in front of you, it's currently over Somerset

In all seriousness I hope you get away soon

No it was BHX runway lighting issues

 

[pianokeys]

No it was BHX runway lighting issues

Do believe I just heard that only 60% of the runway edge lights are working. Tonight’s movements may be interesting.

Just saw on FR24 Easyjet G-EZYU an A319 flying from Glasgow to Geneva squaked an emergency and went red on FR24 it has landed at Birmingham great to see Easyjet using BHX as a Diversion airport

Post automatically merged: Sep 2, 2022

Edit it Was G-EZBU on The flight from Edinburgh to Geneva that diverted in

 

[Aviador]

reat to see Easyjet using BHX as a Diversion airport

I'm pretty sure the crew on this flight didn't care which airport they landed at.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

I'm pretty sure the crew on this flight didn't care which airport they landed at.

I agree. As the old saying goes 'any port in a storm'. Although, looking back at the FR24 playback, the flight started descending just east of Banbury and continued south as far as St Albans before turning north and continuing to BHX.
