Emirates has a rule in which if a flight is diverted to a different airport, passengers are transported via coach, and plane has to go back to the hub

Its an interesting rule.

With two Heathrow A380's diverting the other day, thats over 700 passengers having to be squeezed into other flights.

With the aircraft having to repositioned back to Dubai anyway, would have thought they'd make use of the aircraft for those passengers.

Coaches were used to transport diverted passengers to Heathrow

The passengers that were due to fly out of Heathrow would still have to be rebooked onto other flights though as the aircraft that was meant to take them to Dubai was stuck in either Gatwick or Birmingham.

They were rebooked on the flights that were heading to Dubai after the specific flight that was diverted,along with getting a hotel in Dubai if they had a connection

I can certainly remember Emirates flights due in at BHX, diverting (usually north EDI/GLA/MAN) and positioning back to BHX a few hour later. Also, EK21 (DXB - MAN) diverted into LHR on 15 March and positioned to MAN later.
 
Taken from the BHX movementsblog tommorows flights from Ireland are as follows, tomorrow being Gold Cup day at Cheltenham.

Ryanair have: Dublin -8 Including 3 extra flights
Shannon - 2 - 1 extra
Cork - 2 - 1 extra

Aer Lingus Dublin -

8 made up of seven A320 and 1 AT76 of Emerald.
3 of the A320s are extra flights combined Cheltenham and the rugby six nations.
 
Another Air Algerie B737-800F (7T-VJJ, AH2752) due from Algiers (ALG) at 06:43.

Loganair EMB-145 (G-SAJO, LOG827) is due in from Bournemouth (BOH), at 13:40. I assume it's for Aston Villa's game against Bournemouth on Saturday. It then departs to LPL at 15:00 as LOG810P.

All checked in for my flight to Sydney from Manchester via Heathrow. Been waiting for this trip for nearly a year and now tomorrow I'll finally head to Australia and New Zealand!

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
