Helvetic E190 (HB-JVM, LX424) has mad a missed approach. As has Ryanair B737-800 (EI-EBF, FRFR1999).
Easyjet A320 (G-EZTA, EZY23AD) was in the hold, but is now heading north, having not made an approach.

Helvetic now climbing and heading north.

EK37 (B777-300, A6-ECY) in the hold over Stafford.

TUI B737-MAX 8 (G-TUMC, BY741) has left yhr hold and is heading north. No approach made.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Easyjet gone to Liverpool.

Behind the Ryanair and Swiss there is also a TUi and Wizz heading north and Blue Islands looks as if it's heading towards Bristol. We also have an Aer Lingus A320 holding over North Wales.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

EK37 has now left the hold at Stafford and is heading south.

 

[Creguk]

Ek37 still trying. Doesn't seem to be shifting anytime soon though. This rain is heavy.

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

You lot must be loving this.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Ryanair also went to LPL. Swiss and Wizz went to MAN with TUi looking as if it's on approach there.

ASL 738 now holding over Warwickshire, Blue Islands also still holding.

Very interesting departing route for the LH to Frankfurt.

Strange how some aircraft meander all over the place, whilst others take up a proper holding pattern

EK37 looks to be heading north. Hopefully, it along with the others will be back later.

Yes, I was just watching https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=407241

Flying a holding pattern(s) with one hand and your eyes closed?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Departures now getting away, Aer Lingus to Belfast is currently heading north west towards Nottingham.

Emirates gone to MAN, another Ryanair from ALC holding but it looks as if Blue Islands is coming in.

I wonder if some of that is sequencing. And also altitude, diversion airfields and fuel. Also others will be like "we've got 45 minutes hold fuel" so just go into the hold - whilst others are just like "let's go see". Missed approaches usually cause the meandering.

 

[Creguk]

Does anyone know if the likes of Emirates put passengers onto a coach down to BHX or will it have a top up of fuel and take off back to BHX?

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Missed approaches usually cause the meandering.

The Blue Islands ATR 42 was certainly not due to a missed approach. It spent the best part of an hour and a half giving it's passengers a tour of the West Midlands, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.

Nope, Emirates Will Now mostly likley stay at Manchester overnight. Passengers onto a coach to BHX
However, I do see an attempt again for EK37 to return to BHX. Let’s hope it goes all well now

 

[Kevin Farnell]

EK38 is showing a delayed departure of 22:20, so if the aircraft is returning for that, it makes sense to being the inbound passengers back with it.

[EDIT] - FR24 is showing EK37 as due back at 21:48

 

[Creguk]

23:35 now. Even bigger delay!

 

[Scania1800]

Emirates EK38 now Delayed to 23:35, EK37 Returns to BHX as EK37 at 21:15.

G-EUUI of British Airways Diverted to BHX, and now is Heading back to LHR

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Sounds like everyone annoyed by this news about EK.
My advice would be is that I prefer a late emirates so I can hear that sexy push back noise and take off news
