Bring back GH in the good old days diverts where great to handle. We had contracts with AI AF SQ to name a few. We where not allowed though to handle the joint SQ/BA Concorde that diverted in from SIA/BAH shame. But load control where checked out on AF w/b for the Concorde. Those where great days that us on the ramp looked forward too. Managed to work both an AI 707 and a Pan-am 727 operating an IGS service in one shift in amongst Laker, Dan-air BIA etc etc......... We could rustle up coaches get pax off and moving asap. We even did it for when our flights diverted away. Got told off for getting two NW 747 loads off to STN by coach before the crews had even been told.
