2-MATO VLZ761B GL5T diverting in from Kidlington, a few planes have been circling round and attempting to land at Kidlington , assume weather

EK19 A388 A6-EEZ diverting in from Manchester assume weather

Bhx is massive.Bring back double A380 I say

EK19 A388 A6-EEZ diverting in from Manchester assume weather

So, EK B777-300 and A380 on the ground at the same time? If so, I assume that the BHX flight used it's usual stand and the A380 went on a remote.

 

[Land23R]

I thought the A380 was repositioning back to MAN but he's been on the ground 2 hours now.
The latest metar for MAN was 070 at 12kts in light rain so I can't imagine it would be a problem this time

 

[Kevin Farnell]

It seems that EK38, BHX - DXB (B777-300, A6-EPG) is also heavily delayed with departure estimated at 00:20.

aircraft now night stopping at Birmingham and expected to depart back to Manchester tomorrow

It seems that EK38, BHX - DXB (B777-300, A6-EPG) is also heavily delayed with departure estimated at 00:20.

Swissport handling issues? unable to cope with 2 Emirates aircraft on the ground at the same time?

I assume they split the staff handling both EK flts between the two causing the delay to our own scheduled flt.

There is nothing to say that Swissport had anything to do with the delayed departure of EK38. In fact, the length of delay would point more towards a technical problem. Please, could everyone be very careful when pointing blame at particular companies. Such statements are the views of individual members and do not necessarily represent the views of Forums4Airports.

I doubt that very much, the scheduled gets priority to keep the schedule and not delay even more pax.
