Lots of Go Arounds and ultimate Diversions around the UK last night, and in the afternoon, due to the Storm with many diversions going off to various places including Overseas.
Most UK airports that were still open had to then refuse diversions due to no ramp space left.
Had it on good ear last night, that SOU planned to stay open late, to accept up to 4 Airbus Diversions, but not sure if the weather then turned against them for that.
I note that most scheduled flights due into SOU after 1500 hours were all cancelled by the Airlines. (KLM, Loganair, Aer Lingus, Blue Islands)
The GVA and a JER managed to get in and out.
An EasyJet EDI-BRS went to CDG !
Why on earth it even departed EDI I really have no idea - !
They could not go back to EDI due >55 knots Crosswinds.
What an operational mess - Pax with no Passports etc...
Did EZY Ops not read the Bristol TAF ?
IMHO these LoCo Domestic, and Euro flights could/should have been Cancelled, and would then not disrupt today's schedule with the Pax, Crews, and the Planes now all over the show.
But hey ho that's above my Pay Grade today LOL.
