I’m in Rawdon and there’s no fog at the airport. Enter Air took off 5 minutes ago so not a runway issue

It is foggy. Its very shallow fog , not impacting departures, but RVRs below minima for the ATR72s . No clue why the Ryanair didn't really have a better go before diverting but must be some reason.

Incidentally, its not just LBA (this is for the pro DSA anti LBA lot). Newcastle, Teesside, East Midlands, Birmingham, Luton and Norwich all have fog.

Ryanair from Krakow gone to Manchester by the looks. Biz jet also holding.

The earlier diverted Ryanair Boeing 737-800, SP-RKL positioning back from Manchester as RYR921 and now in the LBA overhead hold.

Jet2 Boeing 737-800, G-JZDC has just diverted to Manchester operating the inbound EXS84TR from Geneva

The wind seems almost calm. Do we have any unservicable equipment?

No, touchdown RVR below 200m is the problem. Has been stuck at 175m for most of the morning

 

[lbaspotter]

Must be an improvement.

• Malta Air Boeing 737-MAX8, 9H-QCW just landed runway 32 inbound from Dublin as RYR35TJ.
• He was followed in by the earlier diverted Buzz Boeing 737-800, SP-RKL which was inbound from Manchester as RYR921

[oldendays]

Wet runways don't help when landing in poor visibility with even a slight tailwind. That might have been a factor today.

TAF ruler says no

 

[LBAYORKIE]

All todays KL flights were cancelled. Teesside had one flight operating as normal and Humberside had two. Similar situation tomorrow.

Snow at Amsterdam.

Seems anomalous that Teesside and Humberside had flights yesterday.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Looks like they could be plenty of snow at LBA this week coming, with a weak atlantic jetstream and a strong polar vortex its quite an unusual set up with possibly cold weather for weeks

Manchester & Liverpool Airports are the ones to watch tomorrow for any possible snow closure & inbound diverts.

It’s not great here but at home in Norway it will be possibly as low as -23 overnight and about -14 in the day. LBA is almost tropical
