From another forum, it seems MAN refused a Jet2 B738 a little earlier this evening wanting to divert from LBA. I believe a similar thing happened with a RYR flight from LBA a week or so ago. The notam for MAN specifies only certain large a/c as not being accepted except in emergency:

B) 17/02/05 20:30 C) 17/04/06 04:30
E) AERODROME UNABLE TO ACCEPT TYPES A380, B747-8 AND AN-124 DIVERSIONS (EXCEPT EMERGENCIES) DUE WIP. SCHEDULED A380 OPERATIONS WILL BE UNAFFECTED.

Is the embargo across the board and if so shouldn't the notam reflect that, or are these just specific cases where for some reason the airport or handling agent couldn't oblige?

There is another notam about 23R/05L being closed from 22.30 to 06.00 this week due WIP

Not of monumental importance, but just curious.
