Liverpool: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations

Discussions relating to Liverpool Airport
Why they have fuel and passenger handling contract Speke is logical in every way possible for Blue
 
Bit strange in that it's taken up a MAN hold? Literally should go to Liverpool. The earlier Ryanair diversion flew more westwards to swing into LPL but this has done a "classic" London-MAN route.
 
W61307 /WZZ6VL HA-LPO on WAW-LTN at 15000 feet seems to be heading in
 
The BA A320 is still.on the apron, apparently there is technical problem with it. Awaiting engineers.

A couple of Wizz Air flights for Luton diverted in.

Wizz do tend to stick to airports they already operate to when they need to divert. I wonder why they didn't opt for Doncaster today being nearer to Luton.

I guess they had their reasons, I don't know much about ATC ops, but its not uncommon for LTN flights to divert to LPL due to bad weather etc.
 
A Ryanair TFS-LBA diverted in last night. FR 2493. Was pretty gusty here, must have worse around Leeds/Bradford.

The runway at LBA points 320 degrees. During winter storms the wind direction is more likely to be between 240 and 270 degrees. Coupled with a challenging crossword component, aircraft with winglets are often subject to reduced operational limits during crosswind conditions.
 
It was windy here late afternoon and early evening but I think it died down after that.

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
