Just a bit of info for you guys that is not rumour
My godparents were on the ALC - LBA Thomson flight yesterday and they were diverting to NCL circled a few times when the airport closed, they then diverted to MME. Bit of a skiddy landing apparently. They then sat on the a/c for 2.5 hours before they announced they were going to fly to NCL. Passenger uproar and the police had to be brought on to the aircraft where they arrested one of the passengers.
The remaining passengers were then offloaded and bussed to Leeds.
There was another Thomson a/c in also from Liverpool, A BA aircraft from LHR
Not sure about the rest
