Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[DaveBham]

I've been made aware that the return flight from Cape Verde back to BHX is delayed - apparently the plane is still at BHX. Does anyone have any further info?

 

[Ray Finkle]

The BHX website has a departure time to SID of 16:10 (it should have been 09:25) although it seems to be playing up a bit.

FR24 shows G-BYAY on it's way although it looks to have taken an interesting route down to the Bristol Channel?

Apparently AA131 has diverted to Boston—according to FR24—and is due to position in from there with an estimated arrival time of 09:52. Since it says "on time" I'm assuming it will arrive today and not tomorrow

BHX-bound flights aren't having it easy this morning. Now we have HA-LYL routing WAW-BHX diverting into Poznan.

Well it is the start of the "silly" season so lets get ready for more drama over the next few weeks.

I wonder if those Air France passengers are back home yet after yesterday's scare ??

Both of those flights have now arrived, although the LH Cityline flight from MUC is showing as "diverted to Gothenburg"—this is certainly a glitch and probably happened because the E195 that was expected to operate the BHX flight was switched to GOT and another E195 took its place.

Incidentally this flight is to change to an Airbus in the new year, as LH Cityline hand their E195s over to Austrian and receive the former Eurowings CRJs.

Aircraft are starting to hold as BHX cannot accept inbounds at the moment because the pressure setting equipment has failed.

The first divert is a Flybe 175 from Inverness which has been holding for a while, it's now heading up to MAN.

Crikey, I've never heard of this before.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Nor me, it seems a strange one.

One of the Monarch A321's has broken off from the hold and is descending so hopefully things are sorted now.

 

[Aviador]

Yep, Looks like things are starting to move again.

 

[Ray Finkle]

I believe we had some diversions from EMA today after their runway was closed. Does anyone know what we saw?

Apparently we had a RYR738(EI-DAN)and Aurigny ATR72(G-COBO).

 

[jfy1999]

The American and United flights arrived at BHX on time this morning, but massive blizzards sweeping up the US east coast mean the return flights have been cancelled. Presumably the American and United planes are still here.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Both parked up for a second day.

TOM830 to Bridgetown

Anyone know what's happened to this flight? It's supposed to be taking off this morning at 9.50am but has been delayed by 13hrs, and I can't find it on FR24 either. They've checked the passengers into a hotel, with a current prediction of a 2300hrs departure.

Anyone got any info?

 

[jfy1999]

The inbound flight (TOM815) that was due to arrive this morning is showing FR24 status "unknown", which usually happens on days of non-operation (planned or unplanned), the aircraft must have gone tech in Barbados.

Bridgetown Thomson Airways TOM 815 06:55 Delayed 21:15

Today's departure to Bridgetown is also showing as delayed until 18:00.

I believe that there may be an Arke 787 coming in to operate the flights, no idea what time though.

 

[Brummiegem]

Talking of aircraft going tech,is this the reason for yesterday's AAL131 being cancelled?
I noticed the aircraft parked on a remote stand overnight.
It appears that today's flight operated normally though.
