They did well to sort it out so quickly. 50p in the metre does wonders.

 

[Brum X]

Thats soooooo funny

Wonder what happened to those flights diverted did they come back down to BHX or was there still disruption

The Air India came back and the Thomas Cook from EMA. I did not see any others on FR24.

There were quite a few cancellations of later flights, mainly Flybe and Aer Lingus. The was an extra Aer Lingus ATR Dublin flight this morning, landed about 8.30am which might have been the flight that was cancelled from last night.....

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

Yes looked Aircraft working today''s AI flight to either Amritstar or Delhi did come in I did notice a lot of flybe were canncelled couldn't they just have rescheduled it when the airport reopened.

Heathrow currently closed due to a suspect drone sighting.....watch this space.

 

[Land23R]

Only departures stopped as far as I know. A/C seem to be landing as normal

 

[Brummiegem]

Don’t get too excited just yet,it is only departures that are affected.
Apparently a drone was sighted close to the runway being used for departures.

 

[Land23R]

Excitement over. Departures have resumed according to FR24

Did the Ryanair Malta flight finally arrive today? The projected 07.05 departure from MLA was put back to 14.30 due to an aircraft shortage presumably due to last nights prang.

According to FR24 it finally arrived in Birmingham at 17:57.

Surprised this forum not buzzing.

BY177, UA81, EY15 diverted or diverting to you. EK21 just moved closer to BHX

 

[GliderPilot]

It’s too early for us BlueManc!

I’ve read elsewhere MAN is shut until 09:30 but not sure how true this is.

 

[BlueManc]

LX390 just touching down. EK21 parking up.

MAN officially closed to 0930 but may open earlier.

Shame the SQ went to AMS

 

[Creguk]

Just watched emirates come in over M42! Rare sight at this time of day.

 

[mullion]

It didn`t half snow hard up here not seen it like this for years but stopped now and brightening up

Think this must be the first time we've had an Etihad divert in. At the very least the first time we've had an Etihad 787.
