Quite topical given the recent posts about EU compensation.
The outbound was heading for Lanzarote, climbed to around FL100 and stopped there. They turned around and held overhead BFS for around 45mins before diverting to LBA at FL150. Landed after another hold around 2hrs 30 mins after leaving BFS. It appears to have been fixed and currently enroute to ACE. Presumably a pressurisation problem that was fixed at LBA?
Meantime the standby aircraft was launched from ALC to pick up an on time departure of the return leg from ACE to BFS.
