Birmingham: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Ray Finkle]

The weather seems to be heading slowly north, I know someone who is currently in the Lake District and they've said it's apparently expected there this afternoon. No heavy rain or thunder here now just grey clouds.

The worst of the weather seems to have gone east of the Pennines around Nottingham so I think we are lucky

Another heavy storm has been passing directly over the airport.

East Midlands has received our Wizz flight from Suceava.

EasyJet from Edinburgh and Aer Lingus from Dublin are also holding near EMA.

EMA has took approx 13 divs from LTN/BHX/MAN. If they don't get out before the next storm (heading north along the M1) and the cargo influx, there maybe trouble ahead.

Wonder if that storm today is for Barton to get a us airline in which he put millions in for S27.

Very much a warning

British Airways B772 G-YMMO operating San Diego-Heathrow diverted in earlier today.

British Airways B772 G-YMMO operating San Diego-Heathrow diverted in earlier today.

Does anyone have the knowledge regarding the reason for this diversion? Looking at the landing conditions at LHR I cannot understand why, at just 15 minutes out, It changed its normal course to the NE and routed via Northampton/Daventry to BHX.

Hi tompo there was a grass fire at Heathrow which caused a little disruption so it diverted to BHX, fuel maybe? another BA 777 diverted into MAN.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Two (that I saw) diverts from LHR today.

Emirates A380, A6-EOC
Turkish A321N, TC-LTJ

Can we add A4O-SJ to the list? Just came in now from Hamburg. I believe it’s staying the night.

BHX diversion departures

TK6904 BHX-IST ETD 13:30
EK2504 BHX-DXB ETD 10:00
WY102 BHX-MCT Departed 08:05

TC-JYO positioning back to IST at 11:00 as TK6897, night stopped in BHX looks like it'll have some passengers on it
