Just watched it. Made it no problem, must have had a low passenger/fuel load.
Not necessarily low pax but none of their LBA routes are long range so they never need s big fuel load. BA often did the same on their A319s.
 
Must have been frustrating for the passengers told their flight was at first delayed - and then cancelled due weather and be watching everything else landing and departing?
So what was the real reason do we think?

Perhaps the weather at Belfast was the problem because although there were a few go arounds, most, if not all, got into LBA, even the ATRs. The wind conditions were far worse further North and West.

This is why these surveys about cancellations are nonsense. LBA gets a black mark due to a cancellation, irrespective of whether it was caused by the weather here, at the other end, or by an accumulated delay, or by a tech fault. I'm sure too that they will ignore the fact the flight is operating today instead.
 
The playback feature on flightradar shows the inbound BFS-LBA flight making 2 missed approaches and then diverting to MAN. Original intention was to refuel and position back to LBA but that was subsequently cancelled in favour of rescheduling to this morning

However cancellations at origin are included in thr surveys for all airports, so its a level playing field.

And yet the ATR's managed to get in!

Everything got in from what I saw except this particular Easyjet. Just bad luck with strong gusts at the wrong time or maybe the A319 doesn't handle well in windy conditions?
 
easyJet Europe Airbus 319 OE-LKP has just departed from Paris Charles de Gaulle and will make her first LBA visit in just over an hour. This fuselage first appeared at LBA on 14 February 2016 when operated by easyJet UK as G-EZDS.

Wizz Air Malta Airbus 321Neo 9H-WNV is enroute from Warsaw Chopin and will make her first LBA visit in around an hour. This aircraft is a Chinese built example and was only delivered from the factory in Tianjin a little over two weeks ago, and also marks the one hundred and fiftieth differently registered 320/321 Neo family to have appeared at LBA.

Heads Up!

Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man.... Landing is the first!
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
Heatwave Mk2 next week?
Some explosive weather build-ups currently in the North of England. What is it like where you are?
