A321 G-HLYF is still currently on the ground at Lanzarote after landing their over 33 hours ago, must have had quite a serious issue, if it aborted its take off from ACE, maybe engine issues?

It finally flew ACE - MAN this afternoon.

Heavy snow and freezing rain caused chaos at airports in central Europe last few days.

A UPS B747 diverted from Cologne to EMA yesterday for that reason.

the EI ones will be down to having a batch of ATRs divert to Belfast City this morning after not getting into Dublin.

And strange to say it looks like the BHX-DUB Ryanair flight is diverting to MAN.

[Matt995]

Easyjet EZY2786 Lyon-Bristol A320 G-UZHL just diverting in to

 

[HPsauce]

Yes, Bristol are struggling at the moment. BHX is just managing, and the long runway helps in these winds.

EXS48RZ JET2 FUE-BRS G-JZBJ looks to be heading our way

Currently 2 x 7700 Squawks (possible fuel emergencies)? from BFS JET2 & GLA Easyjet both seem to be heading to Manchester

Update 2010 Both landed safely

 

[DaveBham]

One thing the tailwind has been doing is shortening flight times from the canaries and other places from that direction - by 20-35mins in many cases!

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Easy jet -Glasgow cancelled

 

[DaveBham]

I notice Easyjet seem generally more prone to cancellations than many other airlines. Is that the case?

Also not local weather related, but I notice the TUI flight from Boa Vista - BHX has diverted into TFS. Medical emergency perhaps?
