"This diverting to NCL has happened a few times on ABZ flights"
Really could have fooled me, you would think they had never seen a diversion before. What an utter shambles at NCL.
Ground staff did not have a clue. They provided only one bus for a full 737 and then resorted to asking taxi drivers dropping off at the airport if they would go to Aberdeen. Young kids were left shivering outside waiting for hours after aircraft had landed.
Captain did not explain why diversion was to NCL and not EDI or GLA.
EDI looked pretty foggy, although open when we eventually drove past 5 hours later, so perhaps that was reason for NCL choice. I would suggest in any future diversion that it would be good for Captain to explain why the chosen diversion airport is so far away.
