Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Yorkieflyer]

Light aircraft just landed, Ryanair DUB left hold to commence approach

All looking good, all in the descent now. Phew!

Finally looks like things are moving now let’s hope there is a plan in place to get the pax moved through the terminal as quick as possible

So far looks like Jet2 have cancelled the CDG, Paphos, Tenerife, Rhodes, Dalaman and Antalya with no doubt others to follow..Probably going to be short of crew in hours, even if they get the machines in..Tough day all round

Its one thing to cancel the outbounds, but another to get the inbound pax back.

I've been thinking the same. Say you're stuck in Turkey and your flight home is cancelled, what actually happens? These are generally holiday sun seekers, not seasoned travellers who might be used to this kind of problem.

Must have been a nightmare for the Adel moaner last night with delayed flights and planes repositioning and landing up until 4 am by the looks of it…

All the inbound passengers were re-accommodated on other Jet2 flights back to the UK! Helps that the aircraft aren't too full at present so they have enough spare seats!

Possibly smashed up runway down to all those firm touchdowns on runway32 due to the touchdown zone set at highest part of runway? It gets a lot of action in that area.
Also Remember yesterday we had bad winds so lots of firm touchdowns, probably wrong but who knows!

On windy days you'll get a smoother landing! Always the case as you 'fight' the aircraft in, it ends up being a lovely landing. Its the calm wind days where we have a more 'firm' touch down

Lets hope they find seats for all the outbound pax too.

I must say, the amount of cancelations was quite minimal. Impressed to see Wizz & Sun Express, position back in. Jet2 & FR did a good job of it also. Considering the nightmare, the programs seemed to have been recovered well minus the inevitable cancellations.

Interesting to read on the dried fruit forum that when LBAs runway developed a hole last Friday and was promptly shut with numerous diversions, none went to Teesside because apparently, the terminal was being used that day for a sizeable function . No room for dealing with airline passengers.

Seriously??

 

[Len Fish]

Should have gone to DSA, acres of space in the terminal there, almost as if it’s closed!

They only do self catering though at DSA. In fact everything is self service.

They almost never divert to Teesside anyway.

True. KLM do occasionally. Ryanair might. Jet2 highly unlikely as they go to a base.

As far as I understand MAN is off the list of alternates for all LBA based Jet2 Crews due to the capacity issues they are having over there.
No stands, no busses, ect.

It’s now a choice of either NCL, EMA, BHX or LPL.

This isn’t true as evidenced by the fact there have been a handful of Jet2 diverts to Manchester in the past week.

Jet2 flights are accepted, but It’s more to do with the fact Manchester is already a busy, split terminal operation for Jet2, diverts take a lower priority, so they can be handled faster at the smaller stations and therefore this is where they go.

Anyone know why NCE hasn’t gone yet? Appears to be holding on a taxiway for over an hour? Slot issues?

Update finally departing now

 

[AirBingley]

Also looks like the inbound IBZ has gone tech in Ibiza - website says 'operational reasons' - now showing as due after midnight.

Problem with a wheel, a colleagues son is/was on the flight until they were disembarked and told of the issue and delay.

Picked my son up from Man late Weds night. After a 2 hour plus delay from Zante to Manchester it was a further 70 minutes before they came through arrivals because of a lack of buses to the remote stands
(NB: £20 for 65 minutes in the short stay car park!)
