Technology!

What did we do before egates? We had more people. That seemed to work.

It's one of the phrases I use a lot these days:

"Technology's great - when it works".

Can't remember if we've had a nationwide outage of eGates before have we? Considering how long they've been in use for that's pretty good reliability.

Was it a plot to stop Boris getting admitted when he returns from USA since his diplomatic passport is no longer valid? or............maybe they tried AI during the night and it said NO!

Today’s cancelled arrivals

Ryanair to Porto,Bordeaux and Toulouseaccording to the BHX

I think the Ryanair cancellations are down to the delayed arrival of the 6th based aircraft which should be a Max originally due beginning of June now delivery is mid June I believe. Not related but EasyJet flight EZY27 to Belfast also shows as cancelled on the airport website.

Both Boeing and Airbus are struggling with deliveries with the 737and 320 series respectively and Boeing are more than in a little difficulty with the 787 and 777X.

The cancellations are due to french air traffic control strike today. Someone needs to put those beggars back to work!!!

My sister was on LS1221 to Faro.
She was delayed 1hr 40 minutes this morning. I might have known the French ATC Were responsible!.

Looks like more or less every flight from Leeds is diverting to bhx .Anyone know why?

Well, 2 that I can see on FR24. Another has departed LBA and gone into NCL, whilst yet another has departed LBA and gone into MAN.
I'm wondering if there is a fuel supply problem at LBA?

I can't see any issues at LBA in the last few hours?. Three Jet2 aircraft have positioned out to MAN, NEW and EMA this afternoon, but no reference to any diverting on FR24.

Flights from Leeds to Alicante and Majorca got diverted to BHX

FR24 isn't showing them as 'diverted', but if you click on flights LS263 andLS229 in the FR24 LBA departures panel and then click on 'playback', it will show that both flights routed LBA -BHX.

 

[HPsauce]

I see what you mean, Kevin.
In fact the Ibiza flight is just about to depart BHX, a 'rare' B733.

Flights from Leeds to Alicante and Majorca got diverted to BHX

It is in the LBA forum but it’s down fuel problems/shortage.

looks like TUI are up to their old tricks again

Thursdays TOM7458 to Paphos at 17:20 hasn't departed, was meant to be a B788, then substituted to the Air Tanker A332 G-VYGK, & now looks like a 24 hours delay for the outbound and inbound passengers, so that 600 or so passengers affected. G-VYGK is due to depart to Manchester at 06:00 now

Fridays TOM7548 06:25 to Tenerife, now has a 4 hour delay on it, and should be operated by B788 G-TUIB when it comes in late from Gatwick.

meanwhile B738 G-TUKO departed BHX for Lasham yesterday afternoon presumably for maintenance, and yet we still have the correct number of 737s based for the Friday schedules, but they are still planning on using the sub leased Getjet 738 LY-UNO, which therefore means one of the TUI Max's will be parked up Friday morning!!!

Love to know what goes on in the TUI operations department!!

G-VYGK I believe was used by Titan Airways to help with the Champions League Traffic as it Departed Manchester to Istanbul

A nasty storm on the LHR approach. Between Reading and Slough. One to keep an eye on in the next hour or so.
