VS2 & VS46 diversion this morning (5 April 14)

Hi all

Does anyone know why VS2 and VS46 have been diverted to Manchester this morning?

Cheers

Bad weather apparently so flightradar say but looks nice enough to me out the window ?|

It looks as if VS isn't the only one.The Twitter feed on the site reports Emirates and BA flights also bein diverted to Manchester and Birmingham.

It remains a mystery, I think. Apparently weather was lovely at LHR this morning.

Well yes, but weather was lovely there this morning according to someone I know who works there. Unless maybe poor visibility was forecast so they were planning ahead?

I was on the 66 this morning into Gatwick at 9:45 it was clear lucky me

guess thats one way to fill up the Manchester flight.

Doubt it if the loads from my three LR flights last week are anything to go by with loads of 163, 127 and 139......

I was on the first manchester to heathrow flight on Saturday morning and to my shock the flight was full except for one seat! Rather more importantly about half of those then connected via the bus which was great to see.

The flight circled for ages with the pilot saying the viability was poor at heathrow. Fortunetly we were able to land in the end and I thought heathrow was quite clear. I've landed in full on fog before, so not sure what the problem was!!

Excellent stuff all-round, the forthcoming Easter holidays are helping deliver some fantastically full flights
