New Flight Radar thread - it's windy tonight

[cakeorwine]

A new thread for FR

Problem is Flightradar is still doing it's sums on the basis it's going to EDI..

Am now in agreement with the Germany idea

@RedToothBrush I think you're right. Wizz do have a base at Luton.

Berlin or Dortmund perhaps. Ryanair fly to those

Zurich London has properly given up I think…

Just heard on the BBC that there is now a red weather warning over N Scotland...

I'd missed that the EZY from Munich to Gatwick has tried twice already!

Looks like the Ryanair Tenerife to Edinburgh is going to Amsterdam

Zurich to Gatwick is now heading to France.

Really feeling for those Tenerife passengers, they'll be back where they started in a minute 🤢

Looks like EZY Antalya to Luton is giving up after two go rounds.

Not sure how Luton is this has aborted at least 1 landing on the last half hour

I would be livid if I was on that Tenerife flight and knew planes were landing in Edinburgh, which they seem to be doing fine at the moment

Wizz air plane has to do a full turn to land at stansted. Its an easier turn into Luton from where it is.

Feeling mostly sorry for the pilots/staff who are working extra shift and must be exhausted. Least the passengers can have a little sleep if they want to.

Ditto Jet2 up north, or at least Leeds. They’ve been awesome and managed to land every flight today I think, other airlines haven’t managed any.

KLM and Aer Lingus didn’t even try, just cancelled. Ryanair has been over a million times on several flights but all got diverted.

(Not me sitting watching FR24 since lunchtime)

Where are Munich going? They're pointing at Heathrow but at 20k feet

Oh yes, totally sorry for the pilots and crew.

Probably being ridiculous but wizzair one seems to be a bit low for Luton!

Birmingham ? Who knows at this point

I think Istanbul is coming into stansted as it’s at about 2,500 feet

Tenerife is still at 37000 feet so definitely not going to Amsterdam I’d say. Way too high.

Nope looks like Wizz air IS going to Stansted. I'm wrong.

Come on Wizz!

Looks like he's made the tighter turn! Dropping too.

Being geeky, the Wizz Air is an A321 Neo. They are apparently more lively to handle in challenging conditions than the older generation A320 family CEO jets. That may be why some carriers (BA/Aer Lingus) are managing. Jet 2 has a mixture of aircraft types including Boeing 737s.
