Birmingham: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

Use this prefix for new threads for Birmingham Airport
quote from Melbourne Orlando Mayor Paul Alfrey

People have asked what happened last night at our Melbourne-Orlando International Airport as numerous first tesponders were seen on the runway last night responding to an incident.
According to our Airport Director Greg Donovan - “a B787–9 TUI aircraft departing for Birmingham. UK, aborted their takeoff on runway 9R due to an alarm in the cockpit. While exiting the runway at Taxiway C, the aircraft's right main landing gear went into the grass.
Unable to continue the taxi, airport personnel immediately responded and have been deplaning the 350 passengers and transporting them via busses to hotels.
Mechanics from STS are working with ground crews and towing resources to move the aircraft. Once this occurs, mechanics will recertify the aircraft for a potential rescheduled flight tomorrow.
The flight is cancelled and the focus is on accommodation of the passengers.
There were no injuries. Airport staff, including OPS, MX, APD, and Menzies, along with Cliff, Mark, and myself will remain on scene throughout the recovery process. All of our team are working hard and working well to resolve the situation.
I want to commend our Airport team and first responders for working late into the night during this incident. Any incident on a plane is stressful and our airport team showed why they are among the best in the aviation field!

TOM601 Melbourne-Birmingham due 0700 Saturday morning, aircraft G-TUIN, still showing delayed at least 24 hours!

Feel sorry for the passengers.
 
LS1209 Birmingham-Dalaman, G-GDFD B738, diverted to Luxembourg Saturday afternoon due to smoke in the cockpit and cabin

It was G-JZDA on the EDI diversion Matt. On a side note....do you know why both the Tui to ACE and Jet2 to MAH both returned to the terminal this morning ? Both in quick succession 🤔

I believe the TUI 789 to Arrecife returned back to stand with an ill passenger on board Karl, sorry no idea about the Mahon Jet2 flight.
 
2 more returned flights yesterday (Tuesday) back to Brum:-

TOM7276 to Skiathos 06:00 on B738 G-FDZY departed 06:32, got as far as the Suffolk cost and returned back to BHX, passengers then re-departed on G-TAWC at 09:52

LS1293 to Tenerife South 10:30 on B738 G-DRTI departed 10:40, had a couple of holds over Stoke, then Litchfield before returning back to BHX, passengers re-departed on G-JZHZ at 13:21

luck that both airlines had a spare aircraft on the ground!
 
Last nights Air India AI113 from Delhi diverted into Abu Dhabi still on the ground there according to FR24.
 
Reiterating on from HPsauces post which is highly appreciated
Qatar airspace is now closed
UAE Airspace is now closed

This will have an effect on Qatar and Emirates flights.

EK37 tonight is now on route to Birmingham whether that will depart tonight is another question

Edit:Saudia Arabia Airspace Now closed

Todays scheduled Doha unsurprisingly is cancelled, Emirates and Saudi shown as operating as normal.
Last nights Emirates also operated.
 
Two Ryanair Stansted diversions today from Lisbon and Cork and one EasyJet Luton diversion from Prague all weather related.

Not strictly related to this thread but noticed Jet2 had two different A332s in today operating Faro and Barcelona.

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
