Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

Ryanair Alicante flight diverted to Manchester.

Breaking action, wind or both?

It's very windy here now. And very wet too. Not an ideal combination.

Update: Wind currently is 10 degrees, 23 gusting 35 knots. When it rains it really comes down so the runway will be very wet. That said, the Buzz from Gdansk just landed on 32.

According to flight radar Ryanair to gdansk took it from delta this evening

That's 3 then as the Dublin did it too a couple of nights ago and of course and ALC bound Max did it a few weeks ago.

Interesting the LBA arrivals board shows the inbound FR2660 from Alicante as "Cancelled" not Diverted. Meanwhile the outbound FR2661 is now showing "Gate 4 Closed" on the departure boards.

The is flight Plan filed for Boeing 737-800, 9H-QDX to position back from Manchester into Leeds as "RYR80"

EDIT: It looks like Leeds based Boeing 737-800, 9H-QDD which has just arrived inbound from Riga is now operating the outbound FR2661 to Alicante

Presumably they can do this and still adhere to standard departure practice and noise abatement.

Correct

Ground staff at it again at AMS on Wednesday so already some cancellations. Potential further strike planned for Wed 01Oct too so don't be surprised if further cancellations next week too

According to reports KLM have cancelled 119 flights on Wednesday.

 

[Len Fish]

Both tonight’s 22.50 and tomorrow’s 09.30 arrivals are already shown as cancelled on FR.

 

[Finger66]

KLM ground staff have announced an 8 hour strike from 0600-1400 on Wed 01Oct so expect Tue's night stopper, plus the first two Wed departures, plus the AM arrival to be cancelled as a minimum

Not really a Leeds diversion but a slight thread drift, for which I apologise!

Gulf Air GF005, BAH/MAN, showed on FR 24 as diverted to QKM on Saturday 27th September. I had to look that one up - it’s Leeds East (Sherburn), so there is my link to this thread. I think there might have been a slight mistake.

Leeds East isn't Sherburn. It's what was RAF Church Fenton . Sherburn is few miles down the road. Leeds East has a runway capable of handling most executive aircraft.

Yesterdays afternoon departure to Teneriefe departed several hours late and didnt return-presumably will do so later today.

Im thinking there was an aircraft shortage as a couple of aircraft had positioned out to BRS earlier in the day.

Yes, one of which is positioning back from BRS this morning. The return LS222 is showing as 'unknown' on the arrivals on FR24 so presumably the crew were out of hours, or the aircraft went tech, otherwise it would have been due around 0615.

Now shows as cancelled.

Now shows as cancelled.

G-DRTY is due in approx 1550 from Manchester. I wonder if that's going down to TFS?
It's currently doing Rome back to Manchester

Yesterday's LS221 was operated by
G-GDFW, which according to FR24, was late because it had done an engineering flight (LBA to LBA) yesterday afternoon. The fact the return LS222 was cancelled and FW hasn't flown anywhere since arriving at TFS last night suggests that it's tech again.

 

[Finger66]

Sounds like it's F****** Worse than the series 300 we are hoping will F*** Off at the end of this summer.
Think Jet2 have certainly had their challenges this year so let's hope for improvements in 2026

Now shows as cancelled.

It’s not cancelled it’s now due 20:20.

It was cancelled last night due to crew hours and the original aircraft G-JZBJ going tech so had to wait for FW to complete a test flight to do the outbound being the only spare aircraft available.

I would have thought outside of 'peak' there would have been spares available.
