Discussions relating to Liverpool Airport
Aer Lingus/ Emerald diverted in from BHD , was travelling to LBA, landed 0826. EIN3670. ATR72
 
LPL received 40 diversions between Oct and DEC, 31 from Leeds/Bradford, 1 from Warton , 1 from IOM , 4 from Manchester, 3 from Gatwick and 1 from Luton.

3 diverts away to East Midlands and Bristol, plus an IOM service that returned to the island.


credit 09/27 winter
 
So here on the LBA forum some members get very negative about LBA suffering with weather in winter. Now 31 diverts to LPL, admittedly not the only airport to receive them, is not a high % of all flights for a full quarter. Yes it’s still fairly high but LBA gets a far worse name than is fair. It’s been well documented that airlines operating from LBA will factor in weather risks. I remember well before LBA became as successful as it is now how many BA 111 diverts we received from MAN, amongst others. LBA is to some extent now a victim of its own success, but equally from time to time that clearly works to LPLs advantage. With advances in technology probably fewer diverts away from all airports than there used to be. Anyone have any comparable figures?

It’s not being negative just pointing out the diversions. LBA is the highest airport so suffers from weather more than others.
I think there were a few Wizz Air, Also.
Them aswell.
 
EZY 9452, has recently arrived from LCA via MXP, obviously something has happened en route.
 
A couple of diverts from Manchester last night very late / early hours. Any Easyjet from Berlin and a Ryanair from Dublin. Not sure what the issue was.

EZY 9011 and FR 562

ATC shortage Apparently
 
The shortage was due a controller down due illness and not being able to get extra member of staff in to cover

Heads Up!

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
Heatwave Mk2 next week?
Some explosive weather build-ups currently in the North of England. What is it like where you are?
LBA: B737-300 G-GDFK empty down to Paris at 16:15 to operate the return LS268 back to Leeds 20:00 ETA where it will then operate the delayed LS265 to Malaga 20:40ETD
LBA: Albastar B737-800 EC-MUB positioning in tommorow afternoon from Gatwick 15:45 to operate a charter to Lourdes/Tarbes on Friday afternoon 14:00 AP7721 STC
I don't believe I am quite covering enough roles at work. Its now 4 on a bad day, 5 on a good day and there is scope for a 6th and 7th role. Still on minimum pay but had the biggest payrise in the company,
