Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Ray Finkle]

One more Ryanair holding to the north, Lufthansa and KLM holding to the east and another Lufthansa holding to the west. The two earlier Ryanairs are now on approach.

Mmmmm! I hope Border Force are fully staffed and ready...

 

[Ray Finkle]

Me too, just as a couple land more join the hold. We've got Brussels Airlines along with more Flybe and Monarch all getting closer.

I'd have given an arm and a leg to be in Sheldon Country Park this afternoon if I'd known. It must have been like Heathrow in terms of the volume of landing traffic.

Possibility they was holding due to the C17 i saw going over the centre of Birmingham today, looked like it had come from or was going to BHX. Cant remember timings though so not sure.

PK791 has diverted to Copenhagen now due to arrive at 19:00

Manchesters TK1995 TC-JSN diverted to BHX at 4pm this afternoon. The problem was CL601 N91KH had undercarriage problems, and had to do flyby on 05L to check if all was ok.

I'm guessing medical emergency?

Ryanair EI-EMO is diverting in from Stansted. Plenty more holding over the east coast so there may be more.

Decent looking storm over Stansted at present.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Looks nasty on the satellite images. Everything looks to be getting in now at LTN and STN.

 

[JENNYJET]

Yep, those storms have past through here a couple of hours since and they are vicious, though short lived.

I believe another squall line is moving south from Cheshire so Birmingham may get some disruption.

WeatherPro usually gives a good radar tracking and The Weather Channel site is useful with of course the dear old Met Office.

I could not miss the low approach from Small Planet inbound but off normal track from Paderborn. Over my roof in it's pretty colour scheme and The usual howl from a sudden descent to avoid weather so it has been a good day for aircraft with no airfields in site

 

[Ray Finkle]

Looks like more issues for Luton, they have 3x Wizz holding over Essex.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Looks as if EI-EMM is heading our way from LTN, possibly with G-ZBAD behind.

 

[hammerb32]

Doesn't seem to be anything weather related over LTN?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Not sure but watching FR24 the movements are very slow. There is a queue for departure and they seem to be breaking off about every 5 mins to land, although there are a couple now starting approach so maybe things have cleared?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Another Monarch coming our way, G-ZBAP.

Looks like everything else is getting in.

 

[jfy1999]

According to Luton followers on another forum, the diversions were partly down to some aircraft stands at LTN being put out of action on account of building works, meaning arrivals had to hold until enough flights had departed and enough stands made available for all of them. Unfortunately the departures were delayed by nearby thunderstorms, meaning aircraft had to divert.

Shows just how full up LTN is, the redevelopment work there can't be finished soon enough.

BAW A320 G-EUUM has diverted in from MAN.Landed at around 1550.
No idea why!
