Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Karl C]

A few cancellations today with Eurowings gone, Lufthansa two cancelled and KLM one also cancelled.

Jet2 have only three departures with nine aircraft parked up +two still with STS.
TUI have only four departures all long/medium haul with 787s doing Cancun and Singapore with the Max doing Sharm -el- Sheikh and Boa Vista, all chasing the sun

I know G-JZBP is over with STS, but which is the other one?

Wizz Air A321-NEO (HA-LZR, W43015, OTP - LBA) diverted in, landing at approx 09:30. Due to depart to LBA at 10:14, but weather not looking good at LBA.

Singapore 52 an A350 en-route to Manchester diverted into EMA this morning.

I had thought at one stage it was heading on diversion to BHX but alas.

Suppose EMA Is a MAG group airport.

I cannot think of a single Singapore Airlines plane that has diverted into BHX in at least the last 25yrs.

Isn't there an issue with the turning circle of the A350 and BHX's runway?

The aircraft that diverted into EMA was an A350-900. Qatar have used A350-900's into BHX previously. Virgin used an A350-1000 to take the England football team out to the Qatar World Cup from BHX. All turns on taxiways at BHX comply with ICAO regulations. The only aircraft that I know of that exceeds the dimensions to be able to use the standard turns, is the A340-600.

No only the A340-600 cannot be handled at BHX

We have had numerous A350s into BHX, including Qatar Airways ones.

A359 and A35X are quite a bit different

I posted this a few days ago.

Lufthansa cancelled two out of three Frankfurt plus todays Munich along with the Eurowings Dusseldorf.

Information from Ian's blog ------

In the end only one Frankfurt didn't operate so hopefully the Eurowings Dusseldorf might operate.
