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.
Looks like it
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
At this stage, very little - if anything - seems to be getting into Dublin.
FR3211 BVA-ORK seems to be on its way to Belfast
Shannon now, by the look of it.
I wonder will anything else land in Cork this evening?
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!
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
Why are so many planes being allowed to take off knowing they can't land??
I can see it's saying that about Manchester, but still holding at Shannon
What's going on with EI-DHX. Diverted from DUB to Paris.
Norwegian air landed
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.
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.
Where is it heading?Manchester
That is quite the diversion.
They were saying on Shannon ATC earlier today that Shannon weren't accepting any more diversions as they were full. FR3211 BVA-ORK and FR4845 BGY-DUB are both queueing to get into SNN right now, EI385 LHR-SNN seems to be heading Cork-wards now (which seems futile).
Well it looks like FR3211 is making another attempt at Shannon
EDIT: Landed it Shannon. Fair play
Fr509 bristol dublin just pulled back up when attempting a landing
Fustercluck...
Quite.
4845 and 3211 on the black stuff in Shannon now.
8110 diverting out of the Cork hold, heading Shannon-wards.
Might as well try to get into Shannon while the going is good
Fr555 man - dub, 1 attempt at dub then landed at bva???
Surely somewhere closer?
Birmingham dublin fr663
Back in Birmingham.. 2 hours 15 and back where you started
yes and a departure - nothing holding at Snn now
..
Where in God's name is FR5911 ACE - DUB off to? Didn't even attempt to land and currently heading SSE at 37000 feet over Brittany.
Amsterdam - Dublin FR3007
Just landed.... in Stansted!
Switching to RWY16 in DUB it seems. 51 minutes since the last successful landing.
Was just about to ask the very question. Quite an unusual one to say the least
