Excuse my ignorance, but have you all got accounts? Cos I am looking at the free site and I don't seem to be seeing the same things you all are? planes turn red when I hover my mouse over them.

On the free one you can click on alerts then see the red planes.

Geneva - Gatwick apparently diverting to Lyon! Those passengers must be SOOO p*d off.

Pinksnowstars · 21/01/2024 21:53

Looks like the Sharm flight is heading to Manchester.

@SecretKeeper1

Jet2 has plonked all theirs down successfully, not sure why other airlines can’t.

Can depend on the winds as you make the approach..make an approach when the wind is within published limits you can have a go at landing..get a gust or period of higher winds and it's a go-around....

Will the Alicante to Leeds, due in 10 mins, be the first (I think) Ryanair flight to manage to land there today? Jet2 has plonked all theirs down successfully, not sure why other airlines can’t.

Currently 58mph winds at the highest passenger airport in the country. I’d rather not!

I'm biased as my DH flies for them, but Jet2 have a lot of ex-RAF, and commercially experienced pilots who have thousands of hours in the air, they also treat them really well. So they tend to attract very good pilots who can handle a bit of wind.

Routing for Sharm to have a safe landing in Manchester

Russoooooo · 21/01/2024 21:55

I’ve been well and truly sucked in by all this. Thank you? I think?

TOM1LN looks to be heading into line for Manchester to me.

2 DHL, a UPS and a Ryanair flights to EMA all circling over Notts and Leicestershire , not sure if any are going to try and land. Wind still very strong up here !

The DHL is down! The wind seems to have dropped a bit now but it's still gusty...

eg2627 · 21/01/2024 21:56

yep they’re preparing to land

VWd · 21/01/2024 21:56

Pinksnowstars · 21/01/2024 21:53

Looks like the Sharm flight is heading to Manchester.

Fingers crossed for it here 🤞🏻 Just reached the 7 hour limit.

50mph winds instead of 70 there so it’s something!

Indeed I am near MAN and weather really doesn’t seem that bad right now

PotatoPrimo · 21/01/2024 21:56

I can’t go to bed until TOM1LN is down. They’ve just passed me on the way into MAN.

Umm...... 🤐

Ryanair faro to Notts is just circling not even close to Notts, as are the ups/DHL flights. I wonder if they'll be redirected.

mauvish · 21/01/2024 21:57

Geneva -Gatwick due into Lyons in 8 minutes

DoodleMum12 · 21/01/2024 21:57

Watching ent3062 into Belfast- will it land!??

CantWaitForSpringToCome · 21/01/2024 21:57

Wind gust recorded at Glencoe summit of 168mph!!!!!

It’s a tad breezy in Glencoe tonight.

eg2627 · 21/01/2024 21:58

alicante to leeds just failed to land

plugin12 · 21/01/2024 21:58

Barcelona to Gatwick struggling to land - think 3 attempts now

PlasticineKing · 21/01/2024 21:58

All eyes on AMS-EDI

Bargello · 21/01/2024 21:58

We live under the Glasgow flightpath. Tonight has been interesting!! Wind at its worst at the moment.

Feeling sorry for the people on the Plovdiv - Belfast flight who ended up in Manchester.

nabanna · 21/01/2024 21:58

The Wizz flight Katowice to Luton is I think circling for it's third attempt to land, glad IAM not on that one

Countrylife2002 · 21/01/2024 21:59

looks like the Sharm plane is landing …

Chocbuttonsandredwine · 21/01/2024 21:59
