Whats changed at the airport or is it just an attitude change from those who make the decisions on diversions.
Guilt?
Remember 9th April 2015?
That was Manchester's only LHR diversion in 2015 (unless something changes in the next few days!) - BA767 on the EDI-LHR shuttle. Including yesterday's EK, Manchester also handled just 4 (four) from LGW over the year.
I didn't record refusals. It's too depressing and hard to substantiate.
