Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[TheLocalYokel]

There maybe be flights cancelled and delayed flights on Italian routes today due to strike action in Italy. This is Friday the 26th.

Haven't seen any cancellations today that would appear to be related to the Italian strike action.

However, flybmi has been in all sorts of difficulty with Brussels today. Yesterday there was unannounced strike action by one of the major handler's staff at BRU that led to all sorts of problems, including cancelled flights. I don't know if today's flybmi problems were the result of yesterday's actions by the handlers at BRU. The BRS website shows the following cancellations:

BM2001 to BRU at 0605 cancelled but return BM2002 due at 0925 operated*
BM2003 to BRU at 1035 and the return BM2006 at 1700 cancelled
BM2007 to BRU at 1735 cancelled but return BM2008 due at 2125 operated**

* FR24 shows it was operated by an E145 that had flown to BRU from Hanover
** FR24 shows it was operated by an E145 that had flown to BRU from Turin

Apparently today's flights were also affected by the AviaPartner industrial action : https://www.flybmi.com/en/travel-alert

It looks as though the baggage handlers' industrial action at Brussels Airport continues.

All three flybmi BRS-BRU rotations were cancelled today. I read elsewhere that Etihad has switched its BRU flights to Dusseldorf whilst the action continues.

2 Flybmi flights cancelled today weds 31st October.
BM 2001 to Brussels
BM 1821 Frankfurt
Both cancelled as are the return flights
These are the first rotations of the day to these airports so there could be more as the day goes on.

Looking at the weather forcast on tv this morning. They are saying gale force winds and heavy rain for the next few days. They say disruption at airports, roads and trains, with the worse bad weather hitting the west side of the UK.There will no doubt some good stories and video footage showing this weather.Lets hope all will be safe and sound

Looks like the forecast is crosswinds too

The bad weather caught the airfield then.The weather men say Friday was the worst for wind,but they do say lots of rain over weekend.

Did BRS lose some arrivals to BHX over the last day or so?

Two Easyjet A319,320 and one BM145, also received two Ryanair's, two Swiss 190s and a TAP 190 from Stansted and LCY.
We do well for diversions this time of year presumably due to the location of BHX plus the long runway probably helps.
Shame rhe CAT3 is messed up on runway 33

The weather forcast later this week says snow on high ground in the south west and Wales.We had a bit of snow about 2 weeks ago on the Mendip hills in Somerset,least it did not hang around.

Bombardier Challenger 605 reg 9H-VFH arrived a short while ago from Malta, it was a diversion from Oxford, guessing it was due to fog.

A Dassault Falcon 2000EX just landed from Boston in the USA, circled over South Wales for a period before landing at BRS. Don’t know the reg or whether it was due to land at CWL.
