Titan A321 Operating for Jet2 diverted in from Stansted saw it on Airport Action apparently something happened at Stansted

 

[Westland Wessex HC2]

Think it was a fuel issue, due to having to wait for Bidens plane to depart, must have been a dozen planes in the hold for up to 30 minutes at the time

2x easyjet flights going from Glasgow and Barcelona to Bristol are diverting into Birmingham due high winds at Bristol Airport.Good to see there using R15 aswell.Good week for R15 and Sheldon country park.R33 spotters must be devastated.

Someone did mention it was due to Air Force 1 in the Chat afterwards but I wasn't sure

 

[Seasider]

I can remember being on a US A/W plane at PHL waiting to go to LAS when Air Force 1 was about to land. Nothing else moved for 30 minutes.

Big Delay for EK38 departed nearly 2hrs late

I think it might because of weather in Germany as there were huge storms, I was listening to a conversation up here in MAN with Bangladesh and he was told at least 2 hour delay due to Germany putting block on airspace because of storms which ran south from Frankfurt to almost Milan and when I looked at rain map it looked just awful right up to higher altitudes

Diverted in today from EMA due to a blocked runway.

JET2 - 3x 737H
DHL - 752

Saturday sees a National Strike in Italy, Easyjet have cancelled Naples, Ryanair Venice, and Jet2 Pisa & Naples

TUI & Jet2 however seem to be operating to Verona still, not certain if flights using Italian airspace are also affected?

 

[rollo]

Pisa, Venice and two flights Naples showing as cancelled by a mix ofJet2, Ryanair and EasyJet on the airport website.

One diversion from MAN this morning. KLM E190 KL1073 due thunderstorms. A further easyJet from Amsterdam went to EMA .

 

[Land23R]

Was it even a thunderstorm? I thought it was a heavy shower with cunim clouds which caused the usual problems at MAN if there are numerous a/c at various stages of descent and approach.. When approaches did restart,, there seemed to be one or two longer gaps as a/c were descended from higher levels at which they'd held. Sometimes, the bad weather clears from final approach but then poses a problem if it's moved to the north or south,, preventing normal vectoring for approaches. ATC were certainly busy for an hour during which time about 18-20 flights landed.

The KLM held over Doncaster initially rather than continuing to the stack at ROSUN, before diverting to BHX.

 

[BlueManc]

Was it even a thunderstorm?

Oh yes, it certainly was! It's hard to work when your velux is getting hammered and lightning flashes every 30 seconds. 11 miles out 23R app.

 

[Land23R]

That's interesting. We're 5 miles to the east of MAN and I didn't see any lightning or hear any thunder.
It's not the first time in recent days that the storm has been out to the NE which has played havoc with arrivals but allowed a/c to take off. BHX, EMA, LBA, NCL and LPL have all had diversions on occasions.

a few BHX aircraft updates:-

Monday mornings AF1565 to CDG, E190 F-HBLA had to be cancelled, as the tug driver decided it would be a good idea to drive his tug into the aircraft, putting a nice big dent in its nose cone, aircraft still on the ground at BHX

Sunwing B738, C-GOWG went tech Monday afternoon, and hasn't flow since, delaying the Burgas flight TOM7116 (which has just departed 2hours ago on Priviledge Style B772 EC-MUA), adding to TUI's woes, B738 G-TAWN then went tech at Naples, and hasnt flown since, passengers now flying back on SmartLynx ES-SAA estimated around 21:30 tonight!

expect a few TUI aircraft substitutions over the next day or two.
