Bad night for Cork last night with Wizzair diverting to Shannon and Aer Arann 466 (i think) diverting to Kerry. 466 was circling for 30 minutes and at 12:20 they decided to try an approach to see if the rvr would go to at leats 600 but it remained at 500 to 550 for the approach which forced them to go to Kerry. The Wizzair didn't even attempt the approach as it was only CAT1 rated (strange for an a320) and requested busses to bring pax from cork to shannon. The worst thing was that the minute 466 was handed off to Shannon the RVR went upto 600 and got better throughout the night then with callsign "K320" landing with a CAT1 approach at an rvr of 600.......
It's going to be a long winter if it stays like this. I can see Wizzair changing to Shannon fulltime if they will have to divert nearly every flight. Why did they choose a flight time of so late anyway
