[textarea]French strike misery for 2500 East Midlands Airport passengers

Sixteen departures and arrivals at East Midlands Airport were cancelled yesterday, with more set to be axed today, as a result of industrial action by air traffic controllers in France. About 2,500 passengers were affected after Ryanair cancelled a number of services.

The strike in France is due to finish early today, and Ryanair said all services would be back to normal soon after. Passengers have been advised to check with the airline if they have any queries.

Re: Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

The weather for the Midlands isn't looking good this evening. Both BHX and EMA are looking sketchy later on.

Ash cloud delays with Jet2.com for Tuesday 24th May 2011.

LS601 East Midlands to Palma (14:30) now departs East Midlands 17:30 local time (Arr PMI 21:00)
LS602 Palma to East Midlands (12:20) now departs Palma at 2200 local time (Arr EMA 23:30)

 

[Aviador]

I don't understand how the East Midlands Jet2 flights have been effected unless the aircraft have either been utilised else where or the aircraft were operating on a W leg pattern from Scotland or Newcastle?

The fog/mist has been circulating Loughborough since Saturday evening/Sunday morning...

This morning it looks as if it has lifted!

Looks like ryanair are having problems with there Boeing 737-800's down at EMA this afternoon as 4x flights have had to divert to Birmingham due to the cross wind exceeding limits.

15:35 = FR3702 - From Fuerteventura
15:55 = FR1743 - From Knock Ireland West
17:05 = FR1767 - From Faro
17:35 = FR536 - From Dublin

 

[lbaspotter]

Thomas Cook, A321 G-NIKO now also just diverted to Manchester operating the TCX5175 from Arrecife.

 

[lbaspotter]

BE1096 from Amsterdam has now also diverted away from East Midlands due to the weather.

Currently in the hold are Ryanair Boeing 737-800WL, EI-DWS and DHL Boeing 767-300, G-DHLF

 

[Aviador]

According to the METAR the wind is only 17 kt from southwest with light rain so there must be some other problem?

 

[lbaspotter]

There was reports of winds gusting up to 100mph in the midlands today Aviador according to BBC News 24.

 

[Aviador]

The wind was around 17 knots at the time aircraft were diverting LBAspotter. The wind could have gusted to 100mph earlier but that doesn't fully explain why aircraft were diverting this evening after the wind had died down considerably.

Thomson 738 G-FDZD operating Corfu to Doncaster has just landed at EMA.

Amazing pictures Ray Finkle. I'd have loved to have seen that, I've always been interested in twisters. I witnessed them once not far from my own home near Pudsey in Leeds. There were two at the same time about half a mile or so apart. An amazing sight. The same day news reports said a tornado had torn up trees and caused havoc near Roundhay Park in Leeds. What most people don't realise is the UK sees more tornado's than anywhere else on the planet, they're just not as large here.

Four diverts to EMA so far today, 3x Monarch with 2 from MAN and 1 from LBA and an Aer Lingus ATR DUB-MAN.
