Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[Scottie Dog]

I can't give you an answer but Manchester has had a similar problem this evening. Unfortunately my laptop is away for the evening and I therefore cannot check my initial log for today.

EI3391 delayed by over 3 hours this morning despite landing on time. Also G-CMFL positioned in from Dublin as EAI71P, then positioned out to Belfast as EAG72P. Anyone know if these were related?

It brought in a new tyre and engineer.

Noticed the early FR from DUB landed at 0641 this morning. Presumably permitted because it was a Max that in LBA's rules doesn't count towards any quotas

Yes I noticed, as the A1 to Leeds was virtually full, how did they get off the plane, through passport control and on the bus which departs at 0705??? Bearing in mind landing time isnt the time it parks at the stand!

The airport wouldn't ask a flight to hold for as long as that anyway. Only for maybe 5 or 10 minutes max (pardon the pun). But yes, the max doesn't count as per LBAs interpretation, does count according to the 'we need our sleep teddy bear brigade' and is totally excluded from the planning approval just to make it interesting.

Wonder if also having 3 X early Wizz arrivals had any bearing this morning? Get what pax you can through and out of the airport as early as you can

The FR Max went straight over my house this morning and I missed it because I didn't hear it, they are so quiet I don't see how anybody can complain about them

A vociferous minority will always find something to complain about, it’s in their DNA.

Didn't it get reported that noise complaints are actually down Year on Year? and its around the 400+ mark (which I would say in tiny) this could be used a strong defence proving 1. a tiny minority cares about the noise / decides to move under a flight path that has been there longer then they have been alive & 2. the quieter aircraft are helping improve the situation? 3. the die hard loser dedicate there life to restricting an airport and city with so much potential for the own selfish gains? They are completely targeting the wrong airport and city. yawn.

Most complaints come from the same miserable people who live their lives watching for aircraft to complain about. The actual number of individual complainers is quite low.

How noisy they are isn't really their issue. If the aircraft is quiet, they complain about emissions. If it's noisy they complain about noise. The fact is, its an aircraft. They really don't like aircraft.

Actually, I suspect they're scared of them but don't like to admit it. So they look for any which way they can to interfere with the airport and its business.

Vexatious complaint:
How it differs from a normal complaint

• • Intent:
    A normal complaint seeks resolution; a vexatious one seeks disruption or annoyance.
    
  • Process:
    Normal complaints follow a path to resolution; vexatious ones circumvent it by constantly changing the goalposts or refusing closure.

That's them without a doubt. Vexatious.

Can't beat a bit of variety!

Has the 738 for LS477 to LPA gone tech? Now showing a 733 with a delay!

The LPA was programmed to be a B733. The delay was a nasty slot which I believe the Lanzarote/Arrecife flight also had.

Slot delays are due to dad weather down in the Canary Islands as tropical storm (Emilia) has hit this weekend

LS478 inbound from LPA diverting to OPO presumably due to the 733 requiring a fuel stop?

2 aircraft currently in the hold at LBA??

The Ryanair from ALC landed 14 after holding, but the wind is only shown as 17 knots though sounds quite gusty . Nothing else holding so presumably the other one landed too? Anyone know the problem? Wind seems unlikely. Fire alarm again? Wildlife on the runway?

 

[SierraHotel]

Think the Jet2 initially on short finals for 14 executed a missed approach due to tailwind or wind shear subsequently landing 32 approximately 10 mins later (I stand to be corrected though).
