I note that yesterdays LS529/LS530 flight NCL- FNC encountered problems due to weather conditions in Atlantic. Apparently same for many others in fleet as well as TCX & TUI. With the inability to land at FNC & remoteness then there were a few "issues" with diverts yesterday PM right across the Canaries.
Case in point LS529 made c. 6 holding patterns down to 4,500 ft followed by a missed approach at 600ft then climb back up to 4,500ft? ! for hours trip down to TFS. Aircraft "HH" positioned back into FNC this morning to collect pax for a belated trip back to NCL sched. arrival c. 14.00 local.
No doubt there are numerous horror stories re this incident, clearly no one at FNC or their web site wish to allude to this presumably hoping it will all disappear...
