Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[MrFenner]

Updated list of cancellations as of 16:30 today:

• EasyJet x 21 - EDI x 2, ALC, BCN, GVA x 3, HER, ORY, VCE, LIS, BFS x 2, INN, NCL, GLA x 2, TLS, AGP, AMS, Paris CDG (guessing the 11:30 PFO might get cancelled too)
• Lufthansa x 1 - FRA
• WizzAir x 1 - KTW
• Ryanair x 2 - DUB, KRK

Almost every single other flight today is heavily delayed, as expected.



Freezing fog is now adding to todays woes…

• KL1053 from AMS diverted to CWL
• FR3160 from BCN diverted to BHX

At 18:30 LS1892 TFS, EZY6162 AMS and EZY402 GLA are in the hold.

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

There's just three pre-planned Italian strike related cancellations today:

• EZY2837 FCO 06:05
• EZY 2831 VCE 07:40
• FR1361 VCE 09:30

I suspect more general disruption possible today due to the yellow weather warning of winds.

For the second time in the last week or so that the airport has halted departures until 08:00

Becoming quite the theme these days…

What is the problem with the lighting?

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!

KLM 737 just diverted in from Birmingham due to security issue at the airport
