Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

LS202 from AGP just landed first attempt - RYR was holding over LPL but seems to be headed to LBA. I wonder how many of the overhead bins flew open on that landing!

 

[The Pole]

Its off to MAN

It didnt appear to hold over LPL, just turned right towards MAN

Apologies, my colourblind eyes couldnt detect the loop over St Helens & Wigan

Like LBA4Ever and his Alicante flight I too was due back today on that FR2447 but I made a similar decision to book another flight on Tuesday for €23. With trains cancelled and trying to find a way back to Leeds it’s money well spent. AND as he said, it’s 22c here in Málaga too.

According to FR24 my original flight for today is now due to dep LBA for ALC at 22.25! No chance of that id say!

Why? It's due into Leeds at 2125. Back out an hour later. Presumably a Spanish based aircraft. Wind died down now. Flights landng OK.

Enjoy. I'm jealous.

Today's Easyjet Europe A320 from Paris CDG, which diverted to MAN at lunchtime, sat on the ground all afternoon before positioning to Leeds at tea time to pick up the outbound pax. It finally departed around 7.15pm.

Well done Easyjet!

Ryanair's 737 MAX also positioned back once the wind reduced.

Is there any reason for the LS TFS showing as diverting to MAN on Flightradar24?

Another big bill to pay coupled with a lifetime ban, but, given the extra flying time from MAN to LBA is 10 minutes, it does seem rather odd to divert there leaving a plane load of better behaved pax having to be bussed back. The idiot passenger must have really been kicking off to result in a divert when only 10 minutes from the destination airport.

Exactly what I thought, seems a bit nuts.

Weather wasn’t great at LBA. We only saw the lights at around 80ft onto 14 a couple hours before.
I guess the crew thought if they end up carrying out a missed approach and then diverting, they are prolonging the issue. There was talk of a divert to Ireland somewhere but the wind wasn’t great there. Instead, it got a very direct and uncommon routing over northern Wales straight to Manchester.

A survey says . .

Leeds Bradford named among worst UK airports for flight cancellations

Research using Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) statistics covering January to November 2024 has found that Leeds Bradford Airport was among the major airports worst affected by flight cancellations last year.

[SierraHotel]

Non ATR72 ops will account for the majority, I suspect.

 

[Aviador]

Yeh funny how the airport gets blamed. In the days when Monarch was based at LBA the airport had the best on time performance. It's all down to the airlines but people make their choices when booking. Simple as that.

Lots of our cancelled flights were cancelled at the other end eg. At Belfast. So our flight is cancelled too. These surveys are just total nonsense.

Now I know we tend to assume it's the smokers but in the past this used to happen a lot during periods of renovation.
