Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[CM.]

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

There wasn’t with G-JZDA being tech aswell.

Was meant to position out tonight to Manchester after it was taken to the hanger this morning but still appears to be unwell and is now cancelled

There might be a few A320neo's available now that a certain firm have finished 'Play-ing' around, they could take the place of our 733's

Tell me about it, G-JZBA going tech yesterday caused a big headache for me coming home from Arrecife.
Our crew had to position the spare G-JZHJ from Manchester into Leeds first.
The outbound LS415 departed Leeds 3 hours late but they had managed to make up about 30 mins enroute landing Arrecife 2 hours 30 mins late.
The captain did say in his pre-flight speech that they had managed to get some short cuts. Our inbound LS416 eventually departed Arrecife, 2 hours 25 mins late they managed to gain another 20 mins enroute landing Leeds runway 14 at 02:35 this morning, 2 hours 5 mins late.

I see Thursday evenings Easyjet, Belfast Int'l rotation operated by Airbus A319, G-EZDI has picked up a big delay and will now operating into the early hours.

The inbound "EZY047" is now just about getting airborne out of BFS and is due into LBA at 01:35 whilst the outbound "EZY048" is showing due out at 01:55, but I suspect it could be a little bit later depending on how quick the turn around goes. That will give those that shall not be named something to shout out about.

I would have thought it was too noisy to be permitted to take off during the quota period.

 

[Statto]

737-300s are permitted, so unlikely an A319 wouldn’t be.

The wind and the rain are a coming later today and tomorrow until early hours Sunday. Let's hope for a favourable ish direction and that it doesn't turn out to be as bad as forecast.

The Saturday forecast was showing a north westerly wind, so straight down 32 if that remains correct. Tonight its a crosswind though.

Anyone know why tonight's Sun Express to AYT is still at LBA nearly 3 hours after it was due out? It landed at 1600 but as I type this its 1954, and shown as an unknown departure time on FR24.

Both Aer Lingus flights cancelled tonight and a few hours delay on Ryanair from DUB too, all I suspect down to the conditions in Ireland which are worse than here.

Seems the Airbus aircraft don't like the weather too much. Although the wind gusts are now showing on FR24 as 30 knots, well below the 41 knots earlier, both the Wizz A320 and Easyjet A319 have gone around and currently holding.

 

[The Pole]

Easyjet from Belfast didn't make approach and done one else where. Jet 2 just flew straight in from Nice

Based on past experience it wont position to Leeds. They often show a positioning flight but if I remember correctly its only once that theyve actually done it.

Update10.59- its on its way to Leeds!

 

[scottrhino]

Have I read flight radar correct that FR457 landed at 5.09am!! Incredibly long day for the passengers but hats off to Ryanair. Presumably both heavily delayed flights will have had Irish Leeds supporters for the game today so at least they’ve got here if that is the case.

Let's hope its an exciting game then, to keep them awake.

9H-WAF just turning finals from LPL. Assuming it gets in, as it should, then all credit to Wizz here

And it's down. Full kudos here

 

[SierraHotel]

Forecast is for the wind direction to become more NW. Let's hope for some inbound diversions!

Their other A321 from Gdansk got in this morning.

The TUi this afternoon went around early on its first approach but got in 2nd time around.

The TUi this afternoon went around early on its first approach but got in 2nd time around.

It actually landed ok, all wheels down, but it looked like the spoilers didn’t deploy and after a very short roll out, it lifted off. A touch and go basically
