Birmingham: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Kevin Farnell]

Looks like a long delay on AI117 from Amritsar (ATQ). It's scheduled to land at BHX in an hour, but according to FR24 it still hasn't departed ATQ yet. Local departure time was meant to be 13:45. It's now 21:50.

Operating to LHR as BHX closes at 2300

Doubt that, because if the flights takes off now, it is eligible to land at Birmingham as the flights 8 hours long.

Cancellations are happening all over the place. They really need some lessons on how to run an airline.

Now a third Flybe cancellation today with tonight's Glasgow off.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

The more flights they cancel the lower customer confidence will be and the fewer bookings will be made resulting in more cancellations and reduced schedules.

It's ridiculous that they are launching new services when they don't have enough aircraft to cover the existing routes

That would damage flybes customer rate significantly especially when there's alternatives like logan air now. Flybe must get those aircraft fast

I see from FR24 that AI117 (B788, VT-ANV) finally arrived from ATQ yesterday at 15:01, before departing to DEL as AI114 at 17:23.
Also, VT-ANB arrived from DEL (AI113) at 17:00 and departed to ATQ (AI118) at 20:49, giving 2 Air India B788's at BHX at the same time.

A320 EI202 (DUB - MAN, EI-DEJ) diverting into BHX, due snow at MAN.

RYR82Y (PRG - MAN), B737-800 (SP-RSH) also looks to be inbound BHX.

Add to that B737 MAX 8-200 (EI-HMV RYR27D CRL-MAN).

And, LoganairEMB-145 (G-SAJF, LOG3HP ABZ - MAN).

SIA A350-900 (SIA52 9V-SMT SIN - MAN) has been in the hold over Leicester at FL330. It has now left the hold, heading south and descending, but possibly too high for BHX. Seems to be heading for LHR.

Looks like BHX also got TUI B788 (G-TUIE, BY157 PUJ - MAN).

TK1993 (A321-NEO TC-LSD, IST - MAN) appears to be heading to BHX, without even holding for MAN.

Snowing hard here in Manchester and airport not expected to open until 12.00

Also a Swiss BCS51 diverted in from MAN and a third Ryanair diverted from BRS.

A little bit like the old days just no Tridents, 707s etc.

They should be heading back tommorow. They did cause delays to departing flights but was epic too see British Airways back at Birmingham

FR24 shows Cessna 510 Citation Mustang (OE-FOE) about to land at BHX. FR24 lists it as Leipzig (LEJ) to Oxford (OXF). Just shown up as 'Diverting to BHX'.
METAR for OXF shows visibility as 3000m, but clouds overcast at 300ft, which may be the problem.

TUI 738 G-FDZD TOM7128 EMA-TFS diverted in on the 26th Dec after getting as far as the channel & making a U turn, and was met by the fire service on landing, noticed it seams to have used the full length of the runway on landing, so engine, flap issue maybe?

passengers were transferred to G-TAWO, and finally arrived in tenerife 4 hours late.

ZD should keep the BHX Engineers busy fixing it over the next couple of days!!
