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!

Alicante to Leeds now delayed further - now another 43 min til landing!

notimagain · 15/02/2020 23:21

I'm glad they made it toDoncaster..I digress but I'm never going to be able to think of it as Doncaster Airport, or Doncaster/Sheffield, or even Robin Hood Airport..to me it will always be Finningley..

Grab Canaria to LGW looks like it just pulled up

@NumberMonkey just coming to post that it looks like it's made an attempt and is going to try again.

Still baffled about why that flight ended up in Doncaster rather than Birmingham, a flight from Munich seemed to land with no issues around the same time.

Alicante to Leeds now delayed further - now another 43 min til landing!

What flight is this?

notimagain · 15/02/2020 23:40

Which airline(s) are we talking about? If it's different airlines then there's the issue of airline logistics ( previously mentioned)..There can also be a problem with an airport running out of capacity to handle further diversions.

TabbyStar · 15/02/2020 23:40

Alicante to Leeds landed in Manchester.

Looks like the Gran Canaria to Gatwick didn't make it again. Damn I need to go to bed!

notimagain · 15/02/2020 23:42

That was in response to the comment from Nogravy..

NoGravyForYou · 15/02/2020 23:42

TUI I think.

NoGravyForYou · 15/02/2020 23:45

Has Gran Canaria to LGW given up?

MrsFezziwig · 15/02/2020 23:45

NoGravy Birmingham has had wind gusts in the 40s and 50s for the last few hours - might that be the reason?
Doncaster is a TUI base.

TabbyStar · 15/02/2020 23:48

Nogravy yep looks like it's off somewhere else.

NumberMonkey · 15/02/2020 23:48

@NoGravyForYou looks like it. Not sure where it’s headed. A Norwegian Helsinki flight landed between its 2 attempts though.

NumberMonkey · 15/02/2020 23:49

But looks like a BA Tenerife to LGW has given up their attempt as they look to be gaining height?

notimagain · 15/02/2020 23:49

Has Gran Canaria to LGW given up?

If it's the Norwegian you are looking at then yep, looks like they are headed north? Another one for Manchester?

notimagain · 15/02/2020 23:51

Think the BA 2731 is going round the pattern for another go.

SophieGiroux · 15/02/2020 23:52

This is the first time I've looked at this before and it's very addictive isn't it?!? Currently watching where the Tenerife to Gatwick one is off to, really should be going to bed though!!

NumberMonkey · 15/02/2020 23:53

Norwegian fly to Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle so guess Manchester is current safest bet.

twilightcafe · 15/02/2020 23:58

Looks like BA2731 is trying to land at Gatwick again 🙏🏽

peekaboob · 16/02/2020 00:01

BA2649 has just missed Gatwick and heading back up

SophieGiroux · 16/02/2020 00:02

Ibk2419 Gran Canaria to Gatwick definitely looks like it's headed for Birmingham now

NumberMonkey · 16/02/2020 00:02

But another failed attempt by the newly arrived BA2649 from Tirana?

Looks like Gran Canaria May be attempting Birmingham

notimagain · 16/02/2020 00:05

Gatwick were reporting gusts of up to 30 knots across the runway and rain a short while ago which might explain some of the goings on.

TabbyStar · 16/02/2020 00:09

Tenerife climbing again.

NumberMonkey · 16/02/2020 00:09

BA2731 gaining height again?
