Ahhh ok... this will explain what I saw today at EMA.

I was walking down the side of the runway on the airport trail earlier this afternoon when a TOM 738 landed, parked up on the taxiway (I think?) and stayed there - I was quite a way down so couldn't see all that well, but I could see that it had steps up to it. A few minutes after I saw the air ambulance hovering close to it. I checked the EMA website on my phone and it displayed a TOM flight from Pisa and showed as diverted. I was thinking it was a medical diversion. But not long after, the FCA A321 landed and parked literally right next to the TOM.

Then, come to think of it, shortly after was the 75W that came in and parked up on it's tod in the middle of nowhere...

It all makes sense now!
