Vueling from Barcelona has also just managed to land at Gatwick

slore · 22/01/2024 01:55

Barcelona to Gatwick successfully landed on the first attempt. A Dublin one coming in now.

The second stansted to Edinburgh is coming into land so let’s see how this goes

Can anyone explain why Stansted-Edinburgh gets diverted to Dublin rather than going back to Stansted (which seems more logical to me)??

it would seem logical to go back to where you started, as a / for the passenger. But a variety of reasons why not - no idea if any relevant tonight for them, some more or less likely - if crew / aircraft are out of position tomorrow (eg everyone else in Cologne), does this diversion make a difference to any planning? Maintenance activity on that aircraft tomorrow - is this a better option? Crew hours - if Dublin-based, is it better they’re home tonight? Weather everywhere makes this the best choice? Fuel status. Starting airport maxing out with diversions.

Poor Edinburgh airport, like me they should all be tucked up in bed by now.

I'm just outside Edinburgh and it seems to have suddenly got much calmer, so fingers crossed the Dublin and Sofia ones manage to land!

Dublin 3 into Edinburgh is climbing again

The Gran Canaria one might be having a go at Coventry or Birmingham, I'm rooting for them!

Not coventry. Cargo and private flights only these days

SloaneStreetVandal · 22/01/2024 01:57

DUB - EDI failed! Back on the up!

slore · 22/01/2024 01:57

Dublin to Gatwick has landed. We've had a successful run of several planes now.

fridaynight1 · 22/01/2024 01:58

2nd Stanstead gone back up again.

Editing Dublin

IceWhites · 22/01/2024 01:58

Dublin one has taken off again :(

Yup, spoke too soon!

SurreyMumOfOne · 22/01/2024 01:58

Three in a row down first time at Gatwick.

IceWhites · 22/01/2024 01:59

They should be redirecting all Edinburgh flights now as it’s pretty clear it’s too unachievable

OP posts:
SloaneStreetVandal · 22/01/2024 01:59

STN - EDI one from earlier confirmed as diverted to Dublin!

JellicleCat · 22/01/2024 01:59

Dublin-Edinburgh is climbing again, so not landing. Back to Dublin?
I'll wait to see if the Stansted one gets down at Edinburgh, then I'm off to bed.

slore · 22/01/2024 01:59

I'm about 30 miles south of Gatwick and the winds do sound a bit less fierce

I was thinking that about Gatwick barley an hour ago and now it seems ok...

CheerUpPeterReid · 22/01/2024 01:58

Turning right so I think it’s going for a second go

Stanstead 2’s turn now. Then Belfast

IceWhites · 22/01/2024 01:59

2nd go for the 2nd Stansted to Edinburgh. Guess this will be the last attempt before redirection

Southern winds sounding noisy again.

Pisa coming into land at Gatwick now on its first attempt.

dublin - Edinburgh going to cologne and Stanstead - Edinburgh going to Dublin is bound to annoy some people when they realise!

No, think it's first attempt for that one. Though it's getting confusing
