Was Manchester not able to take 2 American Airlines B777 bound for LHR from JFK and ORD earlier today. They diverted to Dublin and are due to depart for LHR tomorrow.
It seems to me that AA don't like to divert to airports which they don't fly from. They diverted to MAN, DUB, BRU (they all operate from) or was it they wasn't a runway long enough in the UK open to take the AA flights at the time.
