New Flight Radar thread - it's windy tonight

[cakeorwine]

A new thread for FR

Wroclaw to Leeds going back to the continent. Brussels perhaps

I wonder if the Tenerife-Edinburgh is southbound as well

Lisbon-Gatwick has landed...

😂😂 Where on earth were you living, the airport is miles away from student land .

According to Leeds Bradford website the Wroclaw flight is going to Amsterdam??!

At least it looks like Ryanair's Manchester to Dublin is finally going to land

But in Shannon ...

Thank you. There was no info at all given to the passengers. I imagine the pilot and crew were too scared and worried to keep the passengers informed. My son didn’t know they were in Paris till they landed! He thinks they tried two uk and two France airports maybe but lost track!

I was reading a post about prestwick and how runway 21 faces south west and directly into the gale force wind, making it easier to land. I think they lack staff though hence why a lot of flights are just bypassing it now but with Ryanair there’s a good chance they’ll go there

It's nice/preferable if it's safe to do so to go somewhere with your own staff or sub-contractors who are used to handling all the admin etc...

However on night's like tonight you might have to accept any airport and then try and sort out the support after you've landed..

All new to me, how best to read the website please?

Man -Dublin descending towards Shannon now

Why is the Alicante flight heading to Scotland when Manchester seems perfectly fine to land?

I think the Tenerife - Edinburgh has failed to land & heading off down south.

Thanks. I was on a flight once from MAN and within half an hour of take off we were told we had to return to Manchester as there was a mechanical issue on the wing but that it was all safe and we were returning to follow protocol. It was about an hour before we landed, we were longer going back than we had been going out. I wonder if they dumped fuel then? It was preferable to the time I was stuck on a plane on the runway at Kefalonia while we waiting for the lightning storm to end and the woman behind me was saying Hail Mary's and howling.

Tenerife - Edinburgh also failed and is following the Fuerteventura plane

Yes as they have handling agents etc already contracted to help straight away. Being diverted to an airport you don't normally operate to will likely cause delays getting passengers off and things sorted (such as onward transport) as handling agents will look after their own first. Plus they'll probably charge the airlines a lot more.

One of us had a car. The rest of us had no idea what was happening.

Manchester can’t accept an unlimited number of diversions. There have been a few and eventually there is no space for more to park

Krakow to Liverpool just gone back up.

CDG - EDI landed 1st attempt! Bravo!

Birmingham is lining up for Edinburgh! Hope it manages first time.

@Clearinguptheclutter

It was more the fact that the 737 can't dump fuel, possibly a misunderstanding re runway thing but then the sterile environment?

I stand by what I said.

The Alicante flight at LBAhas been diverted to Glasgow according to LBAa website, but I thought Glasgow flights are heading south?

Next question: how do I get off Flight Radar so I can go to bed?

Just thinking that
