My husband and son were on FR204 from Dublin to Stansted which was delayed by around 3 hours I think. They were sat on the plane at Dublin throughout the delay, which was not much fun. Home safe now which is the main thing!

I'm in Nottingham and it sounds horrendous outside - really wouldn't want to be on a plane now. Hope Amsterdam is down soon safely.

CanineJesus · 04/04/2026 23:11

Oh no, Amsterdam abandoned landing again

Juswannaget · 04/04/2026 23:11

Everything crossed 🤞

Is it having a go from the Ilkley end maybe?

WhatIMean · 04/04/2026 23:12

I wonder if they will divert Amsterdam to Teesside?

I was just watching the Amsterdam one overhead! Thinking what’s that doing there!

Lobsterteapot · 04/04/2026 23:13

I hate landing at Leeds Bradford at the best of times but it is wild outside!

That’s what I’m thinking - fingers crossed

StripedPillowcase · 04/04/2026 23:13

Amsterdam seemed to be coming round for a south to North attempt while Antalya was still clearing the runway, wonder if that's why they had to go round again

It’s windy - but the airport is at the top of the hill so always loads worse there.

YorkshireLawyer · 04/04/2026 23:16

I’ve been on the last flight in before they closed LBA, it was a bit hairy to say the least!

Isn’t it the highest airport in the UK?

I see, thanks.
I feel sorry for everyone onboard…

I was on the last flight out of Hong Kong before they shut down the airport due to a typhoon. It was so scary I’ve never been the same flyer since.

BerlinBlonde · 04/04/2026 23:19

I love flight radar! I can hear Amsterdam coming over us now

JustAnotherWhinger · 04/04/2026 23:20

I think Palms - Birmingham might be on a go around as well
