Liverpool: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[BlueManc]

Single runway ops due lighting issues probably resulted in excessive holding

 

[Silvercity]

Ok a Virgin Aircraft was on hold for Liverpool too I believe

 

[Silvercity]

Ryanair arrival from LPA, diverted in, should have gone to LBA. EI ENK

 

[Silvercity]

BA A320 just landed a bit earlier from LHR G EUUD. MAN diversion

 

[BlueManc]

RYR64QK EI-FRW diverting to LPL. Can't find a way through the weather to get to Manchester!!

 

[Land23R]

Liverpool's got off lightly with the showers. Is that the second divert LPL has taken?

Why forecasters nearly always underestimate the severity of downpours in the Manchester area when the wind comes from the west having picked up all the moisture and cloud from the Irish Sea and then overland is a mystery. And of course it causes chaos for approaches at MAN. Sometimes they do refer to showers through the Cheshire gap but not the monsoons we've experienced today. Looking at the metars, no other major airport in England has experienced anything remotely like the weather in Greater Manchester and Cheshire.

Taxiway and apron flooded at MAN !

I work in the city there hasnt been too much rain in Liverpool today, rather muggy.

I think an Easyjet from Bologne and KLM an Finnair maybe have diverted in.They were on hold north on the field.

 

[Land23R]

Could be wrong but I thought they got into MAN eventually.

I'm not 100 percent sure.

EZY71WH G-EZBC BSL-MAN divert to LPL. Weather delays again.

 

[Land23R]

It was also a runway change at MAN which seemed to take a long time to activate, presumably due to waiting departures on 05L.

Add runways being inspected after very heavy shower causing standing water

 

[Silvercity]

I drove to Manchester yesterday early evening, the rain was horrendous, and it was sunny in west Cheshire.

 

[Silvercity]

A Thomas Cook A321 diverted to Liverpool early this morning at 0430, due to poor weather at MAN. G TCDY. FR24

 

[Silvercity]

FR 121 arrived from Gatwick just after 11.02. LGW-DUB divert...weather related

Foggy where I live in Cheshire, but must be ok at LPL, Wideroe from Bergen and Ryanair from Dublin both landed fine.

Isn't LPL Cat 3 equipped now? I'm sure they upgraded a good twelve months or more ago.

I think your right, but others who know about techy stuff might know better than me.
