DIVERTS

Fog at Heathrow causing holding delays is the cause of the divert:

BA262 Riyadh-Heathrow Boeing 777-200 G-ZZZC

Earlier there was the possiblility of:

BA292 Washington-Heathrow Boeing 747-400 G-BNLR

although it was displayed on the Cardiff Airport flight boards it continued in the end to Heathrow and landed.

KLM Cancellations

The KL1059 & KL1063 flights inbound to Cardiff Airport were both cancelled meaning that our outbound KL1060 & KL1064.

I believe the same issues applied at Amsterdam with large holding delays and flights have had to divert and/or cancelled as fog set in for the most of the day.

Travel Disruption 20th/21st November

Weather forcast looking similar as today to may see the same issues affecting flights this evening and into tomorrow.

Cardiff Airport may see some more diverts but passengers may also experience some delays to their flights as a knock on effect.
