They self handle so presume a company decision rather than one imposed by MAG
MAN has a familiar "no diversions except emergencies" notam out which I assume overrides whether the handler is prepared to take diversions or not. Jet2 used EDI & NCL as alternates last evening too.
According to another forum, a Ryanair from DUB diverting from LBA this morning was refused at LPL & BHX as well as MAN.
I think the MAN notam applied from 21 Dec. until 1 Jan. and of course it could be reissued then.
Edit: Just to add that apparently a RYR positioning from MAN to LBA was even refused a return to MAN when he couldn't get into LBA, and went to LPL.
