It looks as though T3 723 Saab 2000 Aberdeen/Norwich also landed at Humberside and waited for the fog to clear. It left HUY shortly after 11am.

BA8483 left London City airport at 08.48 on Friday 2nd March. It was operated by G-CIXW, an Embraer 170 of Eastern Airways. It arrived in Palma at 11.43.
It left PMI as BA8484 at 12.27 for LCY and was diverted to Rotterdam, where it landed at 15.23.
BA8484 was re-scheduled to depart from RTM to Humberside at 17.30. It departed somewhat later and arrived at HUY at 19.01 as CFE848B.
On Saturday 3rd March BA8484 was again re-scheduled to fly from HUY to LCY. This flight has subsequently been cancelled, so the passengers must have travelled to London by surface transport.

Thats a long drag by road for them.

I would say between 3 hours 30 and 4 hours if they were lucky as it takes me 3 hours to travel to Stratford from North Lincoln

As lbaspotter reported yesterday, the KL1485 mid- morning arrival from AMS diverted to LBA. This was due to a low cloudbase and a 14 knot North Easterly wind. The wind prevented the use of the ILS, which faces South West on runway 20. There is no ILS on runway 02.
Exactly the same thing happened this morning with a 12 knot wind. KL1485 diverted to Teesside.
Meanwhile Eastern J41 and Saab 2000 aircraft have been landing with a following wind element, presumably due to their lower landing speed.
Fortunately the wind has moved slightly to the East, but the weather is still dire for April!

Humberside announced last year that they are to use a continental firm called E.S.S.P. to install a GPS-based landing system called EGNOS. This should provide the equivalent of a Category 1 instrument landing system at both ends of the runway.
Does anyone know if the KLM Embraers and the Eastern fleet will be able to use this system, or is it intended solely for business jets?
