We must be staying open late tonight

As The earlier diverted Ryanair/Buzz Boeing 737-800, SP-RKR is inbound ILS runway 32 as “RYR997”

Well, the predicted lovely weather today did not arrive

In fact, to illustrate how below expectations it was we lost both Aer Lingus flights this morning to LPL, as well as a NetJets from LCY diverting to NCL

Doesn't take much for the ATR's to divert.

They are still Cat 2 so imagine if LBA was still only Cat 1 capable.

I noted the visibility at one point this morning was as low as 50m with a reported RVR of 150m3. That really is extreme and outside of CAT IIIA limits.

Seems like Manchester's had some problems this evening - looks like Ryanair B738 G-RUKJ as RK558 from Dublin had some issues

We received 2 inbound Ryanair diverts - B38M EI-IHB as FR6817 from Milan Malpensa and B38M EI-IGL as FR4006 from Alicante

Several ground vehicles appear to be working on the taxiways on F24.

Liverpool. East Midlands and Newcastle alao had diverts, the first two being Jet2.

 

[Finger66]

Take it DSA didn't take the lot then!!!!

 

[The Pole]

Both ATRs diverted this morning no surprise! What is it with them? There was no wind to speak of this morning as checked!
I am now wary of using them to Belfast!

 

[YorkshireLad]

Visibility I believe. It wasn’t stellar where I was and we don’t get it anywhere near as bad as LBA

 

[KARFA]

yes low vis this morning, and below cat1 limits - atrs can't do cat3 autolands.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Or crosswinds!

 

[752]

Get easy in on BHD! ATR's proven theyre cr*p

They need upgrading then. They maybe ok in sunnier climes but not suited to LBA!

I would say even less suited to BHD given the weather record is arguably worse than Leeds'

Even MAN had fog this morning. LBA, MAN and LTN all got a mention on Classic FM travel update around 0900. RVR runway 14 was showing 200m while the ATRs were circuit bashing.

A.321Neo HA-LZT(Wizzair 6QM) to Bucharest. towed back on to stand 11 1940, u/s
Says he will require engineering assistance which may take some time

 

[Len Fish]

Estimated departure on FR 00.05 but I’d take that with a pinch of salt.
