Dublin-Manchester got diverted earlier Kev

That was EI3328 (ATR-72, EI-FAV). It routed direct DUB-BHX (not going near MAN), landing at approx 19:20, before departing back to MAN at 20:53. So, possibly doing a DUB-BHX-MAN-DUB combined service. Doesn't say much for the load factors out of BHX or MAN.

I think weather at MAN was a tad murky as weather front moved through, little rain but low cloud, getting a bit boring to say least

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

ATR72 Aer Lingus from Belfast was cancelled this morning .

ATR72 Both Zimex flights from Maastricht and Frankfurt have both been cancelled

 

[mullion]

The early Belfast Manchester was also cancelled but all others from both airports OK and it doesn`t look like weather

7 hour delay and counting on TUI’s 787 departure to Antalya. I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.

 

[BhxJack]

The tui 787 did taxi out had an averted takeoff and then went back to stand

EAG47S EI3647 AT76 G-CMJJ Aer Lingus Flight to Belfast got as far as Stafford and squawked 7700 and turned back to BHX landed at 1624,

2 Airport Vehicles followed it up the runway and 3 fire engines have met it on the taxiway after it turned off the runway (used the full length) watching it on Flightradar

Looks like a few acft inbound for BHX are circling over Wolverhampton/Cannock as the flight looks to be stationary on the taxiway at the moment

Tweets on X suggest a suspicious package found on board?

Live coverage on Airport Action Youtube channel currently

RYR5ZV FR670 From Dublin has diverted to Manchester after circling, assume due to earlier Aer Lingus 7700 Squawk and it still sat on the taxiway

DLH5EL LH2510 From Munich Diverting straight to Manchester
RYR71CP FR1449 B738 From LZE diverting straight to EMA

EAG44H EI3644 AT76 From BFS diverting to EMA after circling over Cannock for a while

Nothing to do with flooding, airport is operating a limited ground schedule due to weather conditions

 

[DarloPlaneBoy]

It was G-CMJJ got as far as Stoke on Trent and then returned happened about 20 to 4 maybe later looking at FR24

 

[HPsauce]

Dubai airports have been closed for several hours due to extreme flooding.
Hence all flights from the region are heavily delayed.

As @HPsauce points out, the flooding was in Dubai, not BHX, but @Just love planes doesn't make that clear.
