Interesting to compare the effects on the about 90 departures from Palma back to the UK, leaving there after 1100 Local, when things seem to have set in. Compared by airline - of course, all airlines are treated equally by NATS ...

BA ran just 2 out of 8, both LCY flights, rest cancelled.

Easyjet ran 6 out of 18, rest cancelled.

TUI only had a few today, managed 2 out of 3.

Ryanair operated 17 out of 20.

and Jet2 managed 35 out of 37.

Now it's just FR24 data, which is often not spot on. But there is a general trend. And there were a number of significant delays, but at least things got away So why did BA seem to scrub pretty much everything (a trend seemingly repeated out of London to all over Europe ? ). Easyjet likewise. How did Jet2, biggest Palma-UK operation of the day, manage to do almost everything ? How did Ryanair manage similar ?
