Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[752]

I feel if an airlines bases one here, it will be out by 6/7am and likely not back until 9:30/10am, usually the fog has lifted (wind is harder to call) but EI didn't too bad yesterday. Abit strange why the DUB didn't attempt whilst the BHD got in first time in the AM.

Based on FR24 data, during the last 80 days of operation, EI3390 from DUB has diverted to LPL 5 times. The equivalent MAN flight (also operated by Emerald), appears to have been cancelled once.

All 3 airports, LBA, BHD and DUB suffer with wind issues, so many a time LBA is not the problem, those ATR pilots do a fine job!

 

[Aviador]

A yellow warning for high winds has been issued for Saturday and Sunday.

Wind gusts upto 59mph according to the Met Office.

Jet2 LS213 LBA-AYT B738 G-GDFU has diverted to Belgrade due to medical emergency.

Sending a spare G-JZBA down shortly from LBA

 

[752]

Will LBA be open for its return?

 

[CM.]

No I doubt it

 

[White Heather]

No I doubt it

Shown on LBA arrivals as Expected 0145. Where it's expected may be another matter but there's nothing shown regarding a divert.
Likely as not, runway work may be suspended now for Christmas as the building trade usually shuts down for 2 weeks, so it'll be down to ATC and airport staff hanging around for a couple of hours.

Thats a big difference and of course there are several EI mainline flights into MAN that pax can be transferred onto.

You mention 5 diversions, but Im sure there were several flights cancelled into Leeds in addition to these.

Lets see what tomorrow brings- winds are unfavourable again!

Some, if not all of those cancellations were nothing to do with the weather here and caused by the weather in Ireland.

Meanwhile, the forecast suggests that by tomorrow evening the wind direction will once again be from the NW, and straight down 32 at LBA. They also show 60mph crosswind gusts elsewhere, notably MAN.

LS214 will return to LBA in the early hours. There are no overnight works and ATC are staying open to accommodate.

The return passengers were put on other flights back to the UK I believe.

This mornings Emerald EI3672 flight from Belfast has been cancelled. Looking at Belfast departures flights to all other ATR destinations have operated, including MAN.

 

[White Heather]

Jet2 738 just gone around. Already aborted the approach by the time it reached the Ring Road at West Park.

 

[lbaspotter]

Ryanair Boeing 737-800, EI-GXJ operating the “RYR459R” from Dublin diverting to Manchester.

Jet2 Boeing 737-800, G-DRTV inbound from Geneva as “EXS286” also looks to be diverting to Manchester

Isn’t as if they could go to DSA, is it?

I bet all the Donny fans will be saying it wouldn’t happen there as there runway points in the right direction all the time..

No, but diverting to our biggest competitor doesnt look good.
