Electric problems meant no fuel

electric problems and fuel don't mix together well!

2 Jet2 diverts yesterday / early hours of today: Barcelona 737-300 to Manchester and a 757 from Larnaca headed up to Newcastle.

Not sure what impact (if any) this had on this morning's departures.

 

[White Heather]

Yes, there was a period around midnight and just after when the rain stopped and instead, the cloud dropped to ground level. I heard several land, but also heard a couple go around. I guess it all depended on how thick the cloud was when on final approach.

 

[Seasider]

I thought the Barcelona flight diverted early evening.

 

[Dave 1959]

It did Seasider but that was due to a technical problem not the weather.

The weather at the time it diverted also closed in - i was around Rodley area and it was very foggy.

A/C performing arrived into BCN on time/early - left quite late. Probably connected. However it then returned to LBA later on, presumably when the weather improved. So maybe it wasn't tech after all?

Looks like Jet2 752 G-LSAB has gone tech in Tenerife. Should have arrived back at LBA as LS224 in the early hours of this morning (Friday) but has just landed with 752 G-LSAN in charge, which flew earlier today from Manchester to Tenerife to rescue the passengers, who were put up in hotels overnight.

According to FR24 G-LSAB departed Tenerife to Manchester as EXS045A yesterday evening but diverted to Alicante where she’s still shown as being on the ground.

Creaking old equipment-tell me about it!

Jet2 Boeing 757-200, G-LSAH diverted to Newcastle last night at around 23:30 operating the inbound EXS228 service from Palma due to fog. Visibility was down to around 600m at the time he went

Strange weather. It was crystal clear here in Cookridge at that time, and still was right up until 0100 when I went to bed!

The aire valley from places like bingley right through to appley bridge was thick of fog,

Exactly what i thought in Adel. If you look at flight radar, the approach was chucked away around Headingley - for the locals just above the Leeds Met Beckett Parks campus. Looks like they couldn't see the runway and made the best decision. Luckily every other one after AH got in including the two remaining 757.

The airport has been closed since 1745 due to fire alarm in terminal.
Lear Jet G-XJET(Prestige 999) currently appears to be holding overhead at 13,000 and EI-ENK(Ryanair 687L from Las Palmas) heading into hold at 15.000'..

1820 - EI-ENK(Ryanair 687L) diverting to Liverpool

 

[twevsmiff]

Must be something quite serious as airprt still closed 1 hour on.
G-XJET still in hold at 13,000'

 

[twevsmiff]

1855- We are back in business.
Just as G-XJET is on finals at Doncaster

 

[jason1-11]

EI-ENK is now positioning back from Liverpool.

 

[lbaspotter]

Glad to hear the problem has being cleared, I'm currently sat on ground awaiting new slot at Chania on the LS284 heading back to Leeds on Boeing 737-800, G-DRTW.
