Been geeking this morning on the number of flights having to go around

Noticed several Gatwick and Luton flights diverting to Stanstead

Check out DI7018 JFK- Gatwick

Two attempts at Gatwick, seemed to be heading for Stanstead, but now the Norwegian airlines crew seem to be taking everyone home with them!

I'm finding it reassuring that I've only had one emergency alert since I switched the alerts on a few hours ago when you consider how many flights are in the air across the world at one time! I had always assumed emergencies would be really common. Or does it only give alerts for flights from the UK? I did find it odd that out of all the flights the very first alert I get is for one in England.

MissSkate · 10/02/2020 20:46

Yeah I've just watched it land at Manchester. There's still the Wroclaw and a Newquay plane trying to land there!

happycamper11 · 10/02/2020 20:46

There's a Newquay flight following the Wroclaw st Leeds Bradford now too, just a small plane. Must be scary 😰

Interested in this thread?

The Newquay flight is weaving a rare old route!

happycamper11 · 10/02/2020 20:47

Both look like they are headed elsewhere now, in the time it took me to come here and post my last comment

MissSkate · 10/02/2020 20:48

Looks like they're heading Manchester way too. Wonder if the Amsterdam plane will manage it!

billsmothers · 10/02/2020 20:50

Looks like the Amsterdam plane is going for it now.

happycamper11 · 10/02/2020 20:51

Thought the AMS was doing it first time but it's up again after getting pretty low

billsmothers · 10/02/2020 20:52

There's a flight heading down from Aberdeen to Birmingham, hope the weather is better in Birmingham than it is here that's all I can say.

Oooh, this is exactly my sort of thread, overcome with excitement when I saw the header

Was feeling “shocked” that I missed the Wuhan /BZN - Wigan flight ! 😀
(Note to self - check if Wigan has a runway)

Meanwhile here is the first Wuhan - BZN flight - taking off to drop the remaining passengers in Madrid...

The Amsterdam plane looked like it was going to land, carried on but now is frozen on my screen.

billsmothers · 10/02/2020 20:52

It's landed now.

billsmothers · 10/02/2020 20:53

Maybe they are landing on the pier.....

happycamper11 · 10/02/2020 20:54

The Amsterdam climbed a couple of hundred feet then it froze. Seems to be on the ground now though. Wonder how some manage and others don't .. pilot expertise? Also wonder why they keep trying when so many others fail. All quite fascinating

smashstore · 10/02/2020 20:55

Wonder how some manage and others don't .. pilot expertise?i

No. It's because the gusts of wind are different each time.

TabbyStar · 10/02/2020 20:56

Yeah, AMS seemed funny, looked like it was rising again, no idea what happened. Newquay looks like it might be coming back.

TabbyStar · 10/02/2020 20:57

Or Newquay is just completely lost!

billsmothers · 10/02/2020 20:58

I wonder if it's heading to Manchester or Liverpool?

billsmothers · 10/02/2020 20:59

Looks like it's turned towards Stockport so my money is on Manchester.

TabbyStar · 10/02/2020 21:00

It looked like it was heading for Manchester then it started to loop back slightly, but maybe just waiting for a slot at Manchester.

NumberMonkey · 10/02/2020 21:01

I wondered if it was heading for Doncaster at one point! Maybe it’s coming back to Newquay Grin

Freeshavocado · 10/02/2020 21:01

Krakow looks like it hasn't even attempted to land at Leeds and is going to head off to Manchester as well

billsmothers · 10/02/2020 21:02

Any port in a storm!

AngelOfDeathNix · 10/02/2020 21:03

The alerts are worldwide I think, j had one for America earlier (or yesterday).

Does anyone know if Air Ambulances show on FR24? One landed by us earlier, but didn't show on FR24, yet I could see the East Anglia AA yesterday.

billsmothers · 10/02/2020 21:04

Yes, they do. I've seen them on there before.
