13 cancellations yesterday (mainly it seems due to weather resulting in various ATC restrictions if what the airlines are saying is indeed the reason)…

11 EasyJet
1 Swiss (Helvetic)
1 KLM Cityhopper
 
Another 13 cancellations yesterday (not sure of exact reasons other than maybe ATC restrictions?):

12 EasyJet
1 Loganair
 
Saying it’s becoming a theme is rather childish. As you are a member of UKBF working at BRS you know the same as I do the two problems are completely unrelated. Last week’s was caused by an alleged drunk driver overtaking a vehicle and hitting an oncoming vehicle head on on the main A38 outside the airport. Today’s is caused by an electrical box catching fire in the pit near the 27 threshold.

It was merely a fact - not a childish point as you have interpreted it (noting that this lighting issue has happened before makes it an even more valid point)

And am fully aware of both these events being completely unrelated because I read the news not because of any relation to my occupation that you seem to have been misled on.

Facts not fiction.

🤔
 
Two non-weather related closures within a week, I bet the Bristol Post will be having a field day, I can almost imagine the headlines, and the comments to go with the articles.
Anyway, an unfortunate couple of events.

In other news, happy to see some new route announcements starting trickle in for S24 - hopefully more to follow. Soon we’ll be have to get an insight into base sizes and weekly flights once schedules are released.
 
Storm Isha starting to wreak havoc across the UK, and of course BRS not likely to escape her wrath with diverts already happening...

Most notable one however is the EZY319 EDI-BRS diverting to... CDG!
 
As expected, Storm Darragh is in full force and as a result there’s been no movement at BRS this morning (as of 07:30) with lots of cancellations and some heavy delays likely throughout the day…

Stay safe everyone.
 
Multiple flights have diverted this evening due snow. Sky is reporting heavy snow in the South West region with treacherous conditions on the M5.

There were reports on line that Jet2 737 800 G-JZBK, suffered a wing strike on Tuesday whilst landing in crosswinds at BRS. Reports stated it went around, landing second time with a fire brigade accompaniment. Photos show the lower blade of the scimitar wingtip was damaged. Other flights diverted to CWL with BRS closed for an hour.
 
I had a look on the weather radar and it looked pretty shocking just earlier. The heavy storm appears to have weakened now and is between Oxford and Cambridge.

Overhead storm currently (c14:00) causing some flights to hold for some length of time with some choosing to divert.

Guess the seasons are well and truly changing! ⛈️

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
