Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Jerry]

Were the 2 a330's close enough to get a pic together jerry ?

I wasn't there today I'm back in work but from the photos I've seen on Facebook the Corsair was on stand 6 and the XL on stand 7 so there might be photos of them together maybe on SWAGs Facebook page or Aviation Wales Cardiff Airport.

So far today most of the flights are operating though delayed and it looks like Flybe brought in an extra Q400 which may be from Southampton and operating Dublin in reverse. They have cancelled both the Milan flight and the Munich flight for today.
Also due to the snow the 06.00 Bridgetown arrival diverted to Manchester.

TOM6707 from Lanzarote also diverted to East Midlands in the early hours.

I don't know if the service to RAF valley will operate to valley today or get diverted to another air field. This is due to a red arrows aircraft crash. The pilot ejected and taken to hospital with injuries,the engineer that was also in the jet lost his life. My thoughts and all on these forums are very much with the families of the pilot and engineer

Interesting that BM diverted in. They usually divert to EXT from BRS. In terms of getting passengers back to BRS by coach, AA shows EXT-BRS as 68.8 miles and CWL-BRS as 60.7 miles, although the latter has to cope with going through or around the edge of Bristol.

Both aircraft (BM earlier in the morning at easyJet at lunchtime) might have been unlucky as everything else managed to land at Lulsgate. The non-Cat IIIB 09 seemed to be the active runway again today. The area seems to be getting n/easterly-easterly-s/easterly winds day after day at the moment with mist/mizzle/drizzle not helping.

1 x Helicopter diverted possibly from a Heliport and a PC12 also diverted twice that should have gone to Swansea.

Strikes in France for 2 days today and tomorrow. Will affect rail and flights. Here we go again as its getting close to main holiday season.

According to FR24 the 07.00 and it's corresponding arrival from Dublin was cancelled this morning. Possibly a tech aircraft as we seem to have 2 E175s operating.
According to SWAG an E175 was flown in from BHX and landed at 10.22. Looks like it then operated the 10.05 departure to Milan an hour late.

Jet 757 just gone around at Cardiff. It departed MAN and flew over Ireland around Dublin and Shannon before heading to Cardiff.

 

[Jerry]

This mornings 09.30 KLM AMS arrival and the corresponding 10.00 departure was cancelled probably because of the check in machines going down at Schipol this morning.
CWL also had an Atlantic Airways A319 OY-RCG for a charter it departed back to the Faroe Islands at 20.55.

So far today it doesn't look like there has been any cancellations but there has been a lot of flights with substantial delays of between an hour and 2 hours on mostly Vueling and TUI flights from Spain.

 

[superking]

Lots of cancelled flights from BRS mainly Easyjet and Ryanair with delays on various others.

But none so far from Cardiff.

Looks like you spoke to soon Jerry. Unfortunately VY to ALC has been cancelled. The inbound landed, albeit late. Although it looks like they just couldn't get it back out with all the ATC restrictions.

VY have rescheduled the flight to depart at 5:30am tomorrow morning, according to CWL's website. VY have always been pretty good at CWL at rescheduling or flying new aircraft to CWL to pick up pax if a plane goes tech. They rarely leave pax stranded (well from CWL anyway)

Yep looks like i did!
