As stated by Skyman771, there are pro's and cons when an airline is selecting a base. Could EGNT have handled another lcc with space now rather scarce. Imagine if the new "G" apron was increased in size, after sercurity checks in the main terminal you could then be bussed over to the souhtside! However, the 3 stands currently available are usually occupied by MNG F27 freighters and Jet2's 733 QC's for the mail flights.
FJE delay is due to a/c aborting take off in PFO and leaking hydraulic fluid on the runway. Saw it happen! PFO was closed whilst they cleared the runway, but when we left the a/c was still sitting on the taxiway as PFO did not have a tow bar for a 757.
By the looks of it it was not going to be going anywhere soon.
Regarding the FJE Paphos arrival (due 19.10 yesterday evening) - this flight is now scheduled to land at 01.00 Friday morning into.... Manchester, with the pax getting bussed up to Newcastle.
The diversion to Manchester was known yesterday afternoon, but after the suggested aborted take-off from PFO and subsequent hydraulic problems, this has obvioulsy made the situation considerably worse..... it never rains does it....
