LBA 191206 AM

Last nights BD096 into Belfast City was 1hr 30min delayed and had two attempts at landing. The conditions got steadily worse after that and even at the time of higest viz the aircraft could not be seen from the main road.

Conditions are not as bad yet alot of flights cancelled – one assumes due to mainland conditions.

BHD: Most flights cancelled or operating with 2-5 hour delays

BE180 diverted back to MAN but that’s not quite as bad as one of the BA services (think it may have been BA7605) which has a couple of goes at operating but diverted back both times.

Still bad in BFS

Fog still very bad in Northern Ireland. Most flights subject to major delays or just cancelled.

BFS: Most flights operating but with large delays

BHD: Most flights cancelled or operating with 2-5 hour delays

LDY: Nothing seems to have landed in LDY for about 3 days, Most flights diverting to BFS.

Don’t fancy trying to get home for Christmas this year.

Ryanair diverted both their inbound Robin Hood flights this evening to LBA. Not that you would realise from the Robin Hood arrivals board!!

BA been a pain the in rear!

If you’re wondering about the delays on BA8077…..that aircraft was delayed due to fog at MAN (operating BA2906) and then after getting back to LGW, it was allegedly meant to be operating to DUB (affected by fog)and then back to LGW for the NCL service.

Even the Liverpool v Arsenal match has been postponed – must be bad up there.

well thats my night down the pub ruined then. NCL was bad with fog yesterday, seems ok today except BA been a pain the in rear!

Even the Liverpool v Arsenal match has been postponed – must be bad up there.

Visability at LPL is down to 100m, nothing even attempting to land there just diverting. There’s 3 or 4 Wizz’s at MAN at the moment!

The LPL diverts:

Ryanair => EMA
easyJet => BLK
Wizz Air => MAN

Most of ryanair and easyjets what are based at LPL are on the ground at EMA. They is a wizz in hold there at moment. Going to manchester i believe

LBA just picked up a div from doncaster, ryanair on the dublin EI-CSF. He now on his way bk to Dublin

Liverpool was/is pretty bad with a few EZY’s having diverted to Blackpool as far as I know.

Everything looking ok at BHX at the moment
EGBB 191620Z 19004KT 160V230 7000 SCT040 04/02 Q1037
EGBE 191620Z 22002KT 6000 SCT040 05/03 Q1038

No delays on arrivals at the moment.

Everything is supposed to get worse later on and especially tomorrow! Should be very interesting! Can’t wait! lol

MME had two diversions from LBA earlier as mentioned above (WO + KL)

I just fell alseep for 30 minutes, woke up and here in birmingham covered in it! Can’t see across the other side of the road!

Anyone know what’s the status at birmingham?

The latest weather report is:
EGBB 191620Z 19004KT 160V230 7000 SCT040 04/02 Q1037

Looks fine to me but the fog’s very patchy so could float over the airport at any moment:(

Anyone know what’s the status at birmingham?

Have things cleared up yet? I haven’t the foggiest what’s going on, I must have mist something.

Hey all, i live 2 miles away from LBA and i put on my scanner this morning ang the ATIS sait it was 100m visability. At LBA they have CATIII ILS if that helps answering the question of why some are in and some are not!

Fog at BFS

It was Foggy Yesterday in BFS with delays/diversions/cancellations, but you only had to go 4 miles down the road and it was a clear sunny day.

However todays looks even worse most flights delayed or not operating at both BFS and BHD.
