Thankfully everyone was ok!

EJU8512 LIS-LGW has diverted to CWL

ATA09:40L

Reason; LGW runway closure (according to the EasyJet app - albeit everything else but a VY FCO has landed)

 

[MrFenner]

Fog at CWL this morning:

- BGH finally landed after holding
- BT diverted to LGW (not sure how they plan to get the Wales football team to RIX)

Also the Maleth A330 is en route with STA11:25

 

[MrFenner]

So the BT came back to CWL at 13:12 from LGW

Yet still it hasn’t left…

Anyone know what’s happening?

The Maleth has just departed (9H-CFS)

KLM have cancelled all flights to and from Cardiff today and tomorrow's 6am departure.

Flight EZY42MQ Lyon to Gatwick A321 diverted into CWL at 10.42 am, reason not known., but FR24 shown it has having circulated over southern England prior to diverting into CWL.

The Belfast flight has diverted to Manchester after declaring an emergency. View attachment 30566

What happened at BRS with four diversions into CWL? Easyjet, Tui, and Ryanair all diverted into CWL.

 

[Red Flyer]

Full up. All available stands were in use so no parking for arrivals. Just joking.
There was a fire alarm triggered in the control tower meaning it was evacuated while fire officers checked it out.

Looks like CWL has a visitor for the night.
Diverted from Dublin.

CWL have taken the decision to close their runway between 03:00 and 11:00 tomorrow due to the imminent arrival of Storm Darragh.

Seems the most unfortunate timing on the very day there was due to be 2 Lapland charters.

Hopefully the Lapland flights will be just delayed by 24 hours.

Hopefully the Lapland flights will be just delayed by 24 hours.

There were two charters showing earlier from Bristol, but they’ve since been moved to Birmingham. At least that’s what FR24 suggests.

The Cardiff Airport website shows Enontekio and Ivalo as cancelled along with the Belfast and the morning Amsterdam. TUI Alicante flight is showing as 15:00 so I expect Las Palmas will either be cancelled unless they bring in another aircraft.
