Have no idea really but suspect in this case it might have been an airport staffing issue. At the time they were due in DSA isn't exactly a hive of activity (only Wizz from Warsaw at 19.00! until much later!) so another couple of 737's plus a 757 might have thrown a bit of a spanner in the works. Plus at the time there was the possibility that DSA might close too. Apparently Wizz was a couple of minutes into an LPL divert when MAN ATC informed him that DSA was cleared for landings ... so he turned around and came back! My heart goes out to the pax on the Ryanair flight diverted from LBA to LPL though. Diverting that far on the other side of the Pennines on a night like this must make getting home a bloody nightmare.
