Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

BA903 /BAW903U on FRA-LHR 36000 feet passing Cambridge

 

[User001]

Going to NCL. The BA198 not MAN bound either.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Looks to be too far east and high for us. BA895 KEF/LHR heading north around Doncaster but too high again.

 

[David_itl]

BA895 did a nice swoop over northern England!

SHT3R G-EUXM came back here

 

[Scottie Dog]

Looks as if BOH & CWL are taking a number of BAW flights now.

 

[User001]

The Emirates A380 A6-EUY will night stop at MAN and position to BHX at 0900 tomorrow.

 

[User001]

EK37 holding for BHX. Can hold until 8pm otherwise he is off to MAN but MAN has no room with all the earlier diverts still in, and 2 A380 on the ground.

 

[David_itl]

Was marking them all of as they were departing. Perhaps we may have as many as 3 or 4 on the ground out of the 21 that came in?

 

[User001]

I was t looking out for the departures, didn’t see any logs today.

 

[Land23R]

There is a no-diversions except emergencies notam out apparently. Even if there are stands, I suppose it depends whether they have got rid of all the pax, or maybe it's just a change of duty personnel with a different approach.

 

[User001]

EK37 A6-EOX now MAN bound. Will night stop with A6-EUY.

 

[David_itl]

And that is the enigma. Either have the no-divs notam in place all day or don't have it. It makes MAN look rather foolish to accept 20 + 1 returnee in the day and see most go out, put out a message to the Evening News at 4.30pm that they are on standby for more only to find a couple of hours later that they won't accept anything unless it's an emergency.

A380 is slightly different as not many airfields cann take them

 

[owebee1968]

EK37 definitely coming to MAN now. Pilot has declared an emergency on the basis of low fuel.

 

[User001]

I think this will be the first time we have had 3 EK A388 on the ground together too.

 

[David_itl]

It would make a great shot.

While I recognise the awful forecasting at times for fog at MAN, but I do wonder if airlines don't always help themselves. There's a couple of flybe and a loganair holding with the RVR reported on the last METAR as 225m. I assume they delayed their departure at origin as fog was forecast (unless ATC imposed restrictions due to expected LVPs), but if they had arrived at MAN at their normal time of 7.30 to 08.00 they would have got in on Cat 1 or Cat2 as some flybe flights did.

Might last a while this fog which is forecast to be more widespread tonight.

 

[David_itl]

Strange to say on this very foggy day.. EZY48RB/ U27002 G-EZGF diverted in from LPL due fog there

 

[Aviador]

So what flights have diverted where this morning?
