There's an A380 supposed to be Heathrow to Dubai (UAE30) currently just north of Wakefield.

Thoughts?

I'm going to take a guess that it's being moved to Glasgow.

Either that or the pilot has the map upside down.

There’s been some bad weather at London so maybe diverted?

Interesting flight path. Used to fly from Heathrow to Dubai frequently and didn't go this way.

Interested in this thread?

Good point - I reckon this is the answer

Storm warning?

Manchester has it just as bad.

I'm south Cheshire and it's torrential with massive amounts of thunder.

Don't know, but it's descending now

SandTigerSharkFart · 12/06/2023 19:06

It's on the way to Dubai? So took off from LHR. How weird, it's over Penrith area atm

Show quote history

It’s going from London to Dubai so if it managed to take off then this wouldn’t cause it to divert to Glasgow.

Emergency on board?

Manchester effectively shut for a while.

I have to admit my only thought is- how have you caught this? Do you regularly watch planes on flight radar for quirky looking flight routes, or are you tracking someone on the flight? ✈️

QuintanaRoo · 12/06/2023 19:08

Sorry, I misread and thought it was dubai to London. Maybe a technical problem then?

TrianglePlayer · 12/06/2023 19:09

This is quite intriguing but I do hope they’re ok. Looks controlled but definitely descending.

I think unfortunately so or technical issue. Manchester is still open there’s planes landing and taking off including another emirates a380 about to land.

QuintanaRoo · 12/06/2023 19:09

Where is it now?

SandTigerSharkFart · 12/06/2023 19:10

Arriving in Dubai in just over 5 minutes 😁

The LHR 14:50 was cancelled due to tech issues. Everyone moved to 20:40 flight.

TheDogsMother · 12/06/2023 19:11

It looked to me like it was over Dumfries a moment ago !

I think that’s hours not minutes 😬

QuintanaRoo · 12/06/2023 19:12

Found it, looks like heading for North America! 😀

SandTigerSharkFart · 12/06/2023 19:12

@TrianglePlayer oh yes, ooops!😖

ReeseWitherfork · 12/06/2023 19:13

Well I’m curious now!
