Leeds Bradford: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

[LBAYORKIE]

Picked my son up from Man late Weds night. After a 2 hour plus delay from Zante to Manchester it was a further 70 minutes before they came through arrivals because of a lack of buses to the remote stands
(NB: £20 for 65 minutes in the short stay car park!)

Was that a diversion or did he choose to fly to MAN?

No he (and 12 others) chose Manchester.
We’re not far from Sowerby Bridge so, especially given cheaper prices, the travel is pretty much the same.
They got on the plane early - before being told of the delay!
So if Man staff are struggling to service their own planes late at night, it’s understandable if there is a reluctance by either party to divert there

G-GDFO(Channex 38JD) operating LBA to Split this morning, started sqwarking 7700(Emergency) when near Doncaster and diverted to Manchester. I understand it landed on one engine.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Really glad everyone is safe regardless of any other view S or opinions about the 733s and this aircraft in particular

Took G-JZHK for rest of journey and landed Split 2h10 late. Not bad really, but Jet2 having another bout of tech issues - G-LSAK had hydraulic issues and towed off runway at Manchester on Friday.

 

[Len Fish]

Hydraulic issues do seem fairly common on most aircraft, suspect it’s all the pipes, flexible hoses, connectors, and seals that are vulnerable and lead to leaks.

According to FR24 last nights flight from Kefalonia 'diverted' to Zagreb before continuing on to Leeds.

Those arrivals at MAN after 23.00 upto about 03.00 are so busy

 

[LBAYORKIE]

This mornings arrival from Larnaca still seems to be on the groubd there.

 

[CM.]

As the crew ran out of hours to do the return sector should be due back this evening.

Any news on this doesn't appear on lba arrivals or FR24

Yeah it’s arrived but shows it from Beirut. Its actually from Larnaca I believe it does that due to jamming in the area.

Another annoying thing FR-24 keeps doing is showing Jet2 738 G-JZBT as a Vans RV12 G-CMLL

What works required the runway closure?

Combination of aircraft going tech( 4 in total) and slot delays due to bad weather over Germany

Runway closure?
