Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[superking]

Only 1 flight cancelled today Monday the 12th.
EZY 401 due to depart at 07.05 EDI
EZY 422 due to arrive at 10.05 EDI
This is the only flight cancelled so far for today.
Im sure it will be a tough day for Easy jet again today with aircraft out of place and cancelations.at airports around Europe.
The reason given is aircraft out of position and ATC problems.Nothing mentioned about crew hours.
One way or another they have a big problem.

Already an article about it by Simon Calder this morning.

easyJet EZY403 to GLA at 1255 cancelled and the return EZY404 due at 1545.

Almost certainly the reason is that EZY6190 due from Pisa at 1225 was three hours late returning from Italy. We used EZY403 to GLA in May on a Monday and the return from Pisa was an hour late on that day because of delays at the Italian airport according to the captain. The same crew operated the Pisa and the Glasgow which is probably why any spare aircraft at BRS was not put into service - the crew was still at Pisa.

A second daily flight was announced for this summer to operate on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays but for much of the time it's been shown on the BRS website arrivals/departures boards as cancelled.

Today both timetabled Sunday services appear to be operating (BE6476/6477 and BE6484/6485).

I have no idea what BE6488/6489 are about - shown as due in from JER at 1300 and then out at 1330 - but then both shown as cancelled.
This flight does not appear in the BI/Flybe timetable. Perhaps it was mooted, put into the system in anticipation of demand on this particular Sunday then cancelled.

channel islands is a diffacult route from the south and south west. These islands are served very heavy from south ports.Lots of people would rather travel by ship than with airlines if possible with the added bonus of taking their own car as well.I think this is 1 reason Easy jet not taken this route on from BRS.

Both BI/Flybe Jersey rotations are operating today.

In summer 2004 there were four airlines operating from BRS to JER: BA franchise, Air Southwest (via Plymouth), Aurigny (went via JER to and from Guernsey) and Flybe.

Between them they operated 4 x daily Monday to Friday with slightly fewer flights at weekends.

When the programme was announced I reemember writing on another forum that it smacked of overkill and so it proved as that extensive coverage only lasted the one summer.

Monday 26 August 2019

Thick fog/mist early today at the airport that caused three Ryanair diversions:

FR504 due 0755 from Dublin diverted to CWL
FR4136 due 0815 from Warsaw Modlin diverted to BHX
FR2291 due 0835 from Alicante diverted to BHX

It seems from FR24 that all three later re-positioned to BRS and operated the return flights to DUB, WMI and ALC respectively. The Cat 3b-equipped runway 27 would appear to have been the runway in use but the three Ryanairs still diverted.

Aer Lingus Regional (Stobart) EI3280 due 0745 from Dublin appears to have delayed its departure from Ireland and arrived about 100 minutes behind schedule.

The weather at the airport seems to have improved because since the diversions listed above everything else is shown as 'landed' on the BRS website arrivals page.

easyJet EZY407 to Glasgow at 2010 cancelled - no obvious reason.

The return is EZY408 due BRS at 2305. The BRS website arrivals page shows nothing against this flight but FR24 shows it as cancelled which is probably a safe assumption given the outbound was cancelled.

The ARR/DEP boards still not working correctly. Yesterday morning on the dep board was 1 flight showing as next info at 08.30 and no next info and still showing most of the morning with 08.30 next info.Either there is still a problem or no one keeping boards up to date.

Lots of delays this morning due to the french ATC problems with a few cancellations so far:

11:05 EZY6121 Bordeaux
12:20 EZY393 Inverness
12:55 EZY6161 Amsterdam
13:20 EZY6241 Bilbao

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a couple more later on.

Its not looking good at ak UK airports with routes to France and routes that over fly France. It will have a knock on with other destinations as well with Aircraft in the wrong places.1 thing is certain there will be lots of delayed flights every where.

My wife and I flew out on the morning of Sunday 1 September to Geneva on the easyJet 0735 departure. We had a delay of half an hour which the captain said was because of having to take on extra fuel owing to French ATC problems necessitating a longer journey. We flew via London instead of the usual Sussex coast (Brighton-Worthing area) route. After that we were in cloud and I have no idea where we went as the captain made no more pa announcements at all. It couldn't have been too far around as we were in the air for only one hour 35 minutes or so.

Have I missed some thing. On the radio Bristol breakfast prog travel reports,they are saying British airways flights out of BRS are cancelled again today contavt airline or airport for up to date info.It makes me wonder where they get their info from,and what they do broadcast can the info be trusted.

You answered your own question. It's Radio Bristol.

Their road traffic reports are often a joke. At weekends they seem to outsource traffic reports and then they are even worse. I've heard such gems as "Lawrence Weston in the city centre"; Shirehampton pronounced 'Sheerhampton'; "Heavy traffic at the Three Lamps" heard on my phone radio as I was passing the Three Lamps on a bus and traffic was light and running well.

A few weeks ago when Ryanair flight deck crew were taking industrial action the Radio Bristol morning traffic news advised listeners to check with the airline as some Ryanair flights at Bristol would be likely to be cancelled. This was after Ryanair had said that all their BRS flights that day would operate although there might be some delays.

The only time I rang Radio Bristol was a few years ago when they kept harping on about two accidents on the M32, one at junction 3 and the other at the Bath turn-off. I could stand it no longer so rang them up and said to the switchboard operator, "Tell the idiot doing the traffic reports that junction 3 on the M32 is the Bath turn-off. It's obvious that there is one accident, not two."

For a local radio station the local knowledge of some of the presenters and reporters is abysmal. Anyway, I'm in danger of straying off topic.

Friday 13 September 2019

easyJet EZY6015 to Murcia at 0640 and return EZY6014 due 1220 cancelled
easyJet EZY6041 to Palma at 1005 and return EZY6042 at 1525 cancelled

The Bristol Post is linking the cancellations with the weather warning for that part of Spain but they don't seem to have any confirmation that is the reason.

easyJet's earlier Palma rotation operated and the evening one is not shown as cancelled. TUI and Ryanair also operated their Palma rotations today.

On this occasion the Bristol post are correct!

Desn't happen too often. As usual they were cribbing the airport movements boards. In fact, they only mentioned the inbounds. They probably hadn't realised the outbounds had been cancelled too. I wonder why the other Palma flights operated today including two other easyJet rotations.

Here is a thought. There is undeniably money to be made from flight cancellations under EU law. About euro 350 per flight. Is there a racket that no one has paid attention to. Airline staff are well placed to know which flights and which sector will suffer from crew issues. It is well known that EZY have crew issues towards the end of the annual leave period. So an insider trading type racket could avail of ticket purchasing in those sectors with the highest likelihood of cancellations and then scoop up all the EU reg compensations. Obviously done by 3rd partys.

Has no one thought about this?
