Manchester: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Ray Finkle]

Ray, did your flight get away - it was you flying, wasn't it?

It's tomorrow so still too early to tell

With snow here and strong winds in Amsterdam it doesn't look good.

 

[Coathanger16]

So handling staff normally assigned to these flights at MAN should be available to cover alternative work if required?

When it comes to snow you have to consider if all the staff that were meant to be on duty could make it into work.

After my 'tongue-in-cheek' remarks yesterday about MAN's bad luck with the timing of the snow shower, it's only fair to point out that we fared much better than some airports such as GLA, DUB, BRS, CWL, and EMA. With a second closure last evening, even BHX was shut longer than MAN. I imagine there will be lots of a/c and crew in the wrong place.

Anyway, less cold weather should arrive over the weekend
for most.

LAX_LHR on that other forum reporting that MAN has taken diverts from LCY. Flights from Berlin and Orly appeared on MAN arrivals but I suspect the FRA he mentions did get in at LCY.

G-LCYM/S/Y diverted to MAN

 

[Land23R]

So it was 3 then, in which case my apologies

[Land23R]

What a contrast with Wednesday's shower here and the lack of diversions yesterday. Well done MAN and whoever it was that left the doors open for so long. Can't be much room on the apron.

If anyone's been counting, I make it 18 today, but a poster on that other forum makes it 20 and our former contributor says over 20. A Ryanair was mentioned which I may have missed.

Then we have the RAF C17 between 4pm and 5pm. That makes it only 20?

 

[Land23R]

Thanks David. That's my 18 plus the RYR I missed.

 

[David_itl]

G-EZOU and OE-LQQ have left and I believe 1 of the BA Cityflyers. Frees up a miniscule amount of room on the apron!

 

[BlueManc]

I concur + BY7549 just taxying in (TFS-BHX)

 

[BlueManc]

[BlueManc]

No div NOTAM in place until 1200. It was activated just before the RYR landed at 2231 last night.
