Is this correct ? If it is I've never seen that before.
Shannon Airport have CLOSED to diversions.
Any diversions must go to Belfast Aldergrove, Cork Or Liverpool.
Manchester airport is only accepting “Fuel and go” flights, meaning aircraft that divert there must leave ASAP.
Not sure why there are two Ryanairs diverting from Dublin towards Shannon when there are already two aircraft in the hold there and unwilling to even attempt an approach. Surely if you are diverting at this stage, you head east.
As I type that, FR3007 AMS-DUB has thought better of it and turned east over Kildare.
Norwegian air landed
What's going on with EI-DHX. Diverted from DUB to Paris.
I can see it's saying that about Manchester, but still holding at Shannon
Why are so many planes being allowed to take off knowing they can't land??
Came down close to Shannon at 5900ft and now seems to be on the way to Manchester. What a wild journey for those onboard.
Another Ryanair is on the way to Shannon from Dublin, interesting to see what happens there
FR3738 Birmingham to Cork marked as diverted to Shannon but actually headed towards Dublin - which it didn't even bother to attempt before heading to..... Birmingham, where they started two hours earlier!
Shannon now, by the look of it.
I wonder will anything else land in Cork this evening?
FR3211 BVA-ORK seems to be on its way to Belfast
At this stage, very little - if anything - seems to be getting into Dublin.
FR6652 Liverpool to Knock seems to have tried to land in Knock, then headed to Dublin, back to Liverpool and looks about to land in Stansted
Looks like it
Wind was pretty consistently from 220-230 degrees when I listened to ATC for a while during the afternoon. The max gusts were right on the limit for some types (or carriers?) at times, or above limits, hence diversions in some cases without even attempting an approach.
And did FR555 finally decide to turn back to Manchester?
And one of them is off to Manchester at the moment...
EDIT: Ended up back where it started in Birmingham....
4 of the last 5 flights into Cork have diverted to either Shannon or Dublin
This one?
Some amount of go-arounds just now. None of the three last flights landed.
KL1085 AMS-ORK gone around.
Runway track*
Very important difference!
Was up at 28L and it was insane to watch the amount of sideslip all were running on approach, and maintaining the "crab" on go around as the tried to maintain runway heading on initial climeout. The windsock suggested winds were perpendicular to the runway. The flight crews are earning their money today
And again!
EI915 landed at Knock.
FR633 declared a fuel emergency, diverted to Manchester
EI915 LHR-NOC gone around at Knock.
Dublin still fairly messy too.
ryanair from warsaw also just did a go around.
This Ryanair go around just now on 28L seems to have drifted across the departure path for 28R
Nope, Manchester. You'd think they'd just go back to BHX at that stage huh?
Last 2 Ryanair's gone around. Wind out of limits again.
Looks like Leverpool
not sure how to find out - but currently over north wales, near llandudno, so definitely not coming back!
