Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

14 for departures and 32 for arrivals, due to fog. That will have kept ATC busy, this morning.

It’s KAVOK Noe

Jet2 BoeIng 737-800, G-DRTU has just aborted his take-off runway 32 and returned to stand operating the EXS8PW to Heraklion.

Something going on again? 3 currently in the hold, LS from REU, U2 from BFS and T3 from AMS. The LS just starting its 3rd circuit.

EDIT: Looks like whatever it was has been resolved, all 3 holding aircraft now making their approach.

Another fire alarm evacuation. Very common during refurbishment works.

These are increasing at an alarming rate!

Another interesting one, G-DRTU operating LS444 from HER appears to be diverting to NCL.

There’s been a lot of arrivals and strange approaches in the last 20 mins too.

Weather avoidance.

Thunderstorm in the vicinity of LBA.

Was the HER divert due to adverse weather? I take it the passengers are being bussed back to LBA?

Not sure. Everything else landed. Perhaps it had insufficient fuel should it end up in the hold so went straight up there to top up.

I did notice a 738 of Jet2 passing over LBA from the NE then landing an hour or so ago, which I assumed was this aircraft coming back. Whether it was, and whether the pax were still on board, I couldn't say.

Update. It was this aircraft and still Operating as LS444 down from NCL, so presume the pax were flown down.

The pax were flown back to LBA from NCL.

London ATC has gone down which has affected departures from LBA and most other UK airports.

Currently the EasyJet Europe A319 OE-LQJ operating the Malaga Turn is diverting to Bristol I’m assuming they don’t have enough fuel to get to LBA due to holding.

The Jet2 to Paphos is stopping over in Athens to fuel before continuing to Paphos.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

This afternoons arrival and tonights night stopper from AMS cancelled, of course that means tomorrow mornings early departure is also cancelled.

HUY and MME have operated as scheduled.

AMS seems to be operating normally. No other cancellations that I can see.

 

[752]

Maybe the city hopper crew was stretched and as we are currently back with KLM (presume a spare) they may have been over stretched. (not sure if this is the reaosn but could be the ATC related yesterday).

Shame, however noticeably KLM running better then Eastern did. Anyone know how long KLM are due to be back on the route?

You would have thought they would have prioritised a substitute aircraft to ensure two flights 'on the trot' werent cancelled.

Looks like Monday mornings Emerald BHD and DUB flights are already cancelled. Clearly a reflection of the approaching Storm Floris. Oh the Great British Summer!

Clearly due to the weather, or potential weather in Ireland, as LBA is OK for now. Just wet. Emerald still have an aircraft u/s after a nose down heavy landing at BHD and a couple of other less than pleasant landings in high winds, so looks like they're being cautious.

Understanding the limitations of the aircraft they operate.

 

[Finger66]

Yes and that being A Torrential Rainstorm 72-600!

 

[Bigman]

Here we go again!!! Videos of planes struggling to land at LBA in the storm on press websites. Have these disaster merchants nothing else better to do?
