Manchester: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Aviador]

Some things don't change with PIA. PK701 might have changed departure airports but the service remains dreadful.

 

[juliet-fox-9]

PIA have got their work cut out just to improve their image. They have done well to serve the UK for so long but their presence is weakening thanks to the likes of Turkish and Emirates, and they risk fading into insignificance unless they shift their weight and start focusing on quality service.
Their competitors are doing just that and are reaping the rewards.

So true jfy1999 I couldn't agree more and to be honest I think "fading into insignificance" is sadly the most likely probability as they seem either unable or unwilling to change.

LS258 PMI - LBA Aircraft registration G-LSAH is diverting into Manchester at this time due severe thunderstorm over LBA.

Lufthansa B747-800 D-ABYA diverting in now.

It means at least one type of every single aircraft Lufthansa currently operate has now been through MAN.

Today's AA211 went tech, and will now night stop and depart 0800 tomorrow.

 

[juliet-fox-9]

Does anyone know why G-ECOT (BE850 from EDI to BHX) diverted in the other day?

 

[juliet-fox-9]

I've heard on the Leeds Bradford thread that three separate Jet2 flights squawked 7700 this morning, I don't know which flights but EC-ISY was one of the planes involved. I believe it's still MAN based?

 

[User001]

EK212 IAH-DXB A380 A6-EEV diverting in as I type.

 

[andyc941]

AA54 has apparently diverted to Dublin :s_dunno

G-WJAN operating TCX3005 from Ibiza to Glasgow has just diverted in.

 

[User001]

Fog issues this morning.

Some flights were held at their point of origin to help out flows.

AA54 diverted to Dublin as it wasn't Cat3 capable so waited for the fog to lift. AA210, another AA B767 got in fine.

 

[Aviador]

Was anything diverted to LPL, BHX or LBA?

 

[User001]

Nothing else was diverted, and as said, the AA54 couldn't do a cat3 landing otherwise he would have got in too.

MAN did take 2 LPL diverts over the last 2 days. A blue Air B737 yesterday and an easyjet A319 today.
