Qatar must've done a missed approach. Just seen it circling low overhead.

The forecast is looking decidedly dodgy for Sunday with heavy snow forecast for much of the day.

Tell me about it! We are in Toulouse and are due back tomorrow on the Flybe flight. The plane has first got to leave bhx, given the forecast suggests it will have been snowing for 6hrs by then.
If the flight does make it to Toulouse, we then have to wonder whether the return flight will even be able to land at bhx. And then of course there’s driving back from BHX.

Should be an ‘interesting’ day....

Fingers crossed everything runs smoothly.

The airport website shows the following cancellations for tomorrow, all of the other Amsterdam flights are still shown as operating, for now.

KL1421 AMS 08:35
KL1425 AMS 12:50
BE106 AMS 13:50

Looking at the flight track, it seemed to have given up on BHX just north of Cardiff.

Looks bad. Don't think BHX will be opening imminently!

I'm expecting LTN to go snoclo soon going off the latest weather:

Another one from Twitter looking across towards T2.

 

[Ray Finkle]

FR9162 was due to go to EDI but seems to have made a u turn and looks as if it's going to MAN instead.

FR662 didn't stay at MAN long as it's now heading back to DUB.

Looks bad. Don't think BHX will be opening imminently!

I believe midday at the earliest but things could well change.
