Seems to me the whole thing was a non event. The ac landed safely after making a best attempt to get the pax to the airport they had book to fly to.

The real shame is that the ac or crew were not Cat3. All the other Jet2 733s were getting in at LBA. Given LBAs weather record Jet2 seem to make good use of the Cat3 which was fitted for that very reason, it's just a shame their 752s cant use it. Other operators dont seem to make best use of the facility either TUI and KLM spring to mind.

I just hope Bridgepoint get the message and flatten the touchdown point to stop those 757s floating and get them on the Cat3 list too (Luton managed it!). Too much money that though perhaps it would be better spent on building some more retail outlets in the terminal for all those 757 pax to use when their coaches get back from Manchester!
