Few further factual info
- on that day there were a total of 10 go around in Geneva
- four elected to divert, 6 landed
- Easyjet diverted to Zurich but where informed that there was another emergency ongoing with a Swiss flight (Bruxelles - Geneva) which had an issue with their anti-ice and who was already diverting to Zurich. Thus they were re-routed to Basel
- They tried to land there but conditions were even worse than in Geneva - so they had to divert again while declaring the low fuel emergency
- the Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation Board (STSB) has opened an investigation into the matter (although I can't find anything on their website)
