Yep as 'mark707' just said.....

B777-200 N781UA operating flight UA928 from Chicago arrived at BHX at about 10am.
Heathrow diversion.

EDIT: A bizjet diverted to BHX too, from EMA I believe........

Interesting diversions like this always happen when I'm not there! :rolleyes: :( it's good to see BHX accepting diversions anyway :) :cool:

Not as exciting as some of the heavys BHX has got but we had a FUA 734 PMI-ORK divert to DUB yesterday but it blended in with the rest of the FUA fleet lol and on friday night the MA BUD-ORK also diverted hardly fantastic but nice to see a MA Fokker 70.

As someone said above, alot of london city flights were diverted, they started receiving them again at around 1145 I believe, well this is when I heard/saw the first of the day

LBA has had a superb day (not), unfortunately they have taken most of the diversions/cancellations off the arrivals board, just a couple left on there now:

BD291 GLASGOW 0925 LANDED 13:12
BD494 PARIS (CHARLES-DE-GAULLE) 1045 LANDED 14:01
BD1184 JERSEY 1425 Coaches at 18:00
LS182 MURCIA 1720 INDEFINITE DELAY

The only bad departures they have left on...

T34700 SOUTHAMPTON 0655 DEPARTED 11:27
LS181 MURCIA/SAN JAVIER 1110 DEPARTED 15:37

Shame they didnt leave all the disruption on there, about 10 flights were either diverted/cancelled/delayed, think the Sun Express from DLM was one.

i know that there were mega delays at LGW this morning and most carriers are running 2 hours late. Not sure on diversions though. I checked at school and an EZY from Edinburgh was 3.5 hours late (due in 1000 arrived 1330) and other flights late such as FCA from mahon 1 hour and 45 mins late.

I imagine though that there were diversions - usually are

So which airlines actually diverted to LBA?

Was great at MAN this morning, whilst on a collage trip to the airport all these extra aircraft were seen. The AA B777 was probably the most exciting for me, they rarely come up north!

None, lots of airlines diverted away from LBA though ;).
