Hello,
A relative of mine was flying into Newcastle from Santorini this evening (Tuesday 7th) and the aircraft diverted into Manchester.
No explanation was given.
Can anyone in the know shine a light on this?

i find it hard to believe that a diversion took place and NO explanation was given.....
I cannot imagine a scenario where the Captain announced that they would now be going to Manchester but i'm not telling you why.....
Seriously...?

It wasn't operational convenience as the aircraft is based in NCL and it had a knock on effect to their schedule. delaying another flight by around 2.5 hours. There must have been a reason for this aircraft being diverted.
I don't know about NCL but isn't MAN a maintenance base? Probably popped in for a bit of TLC.

I certainly wouldn't like to be told that!Why would MAN be more important than NCL flights? Higher revenue? Higher costs of further delays?

you have to be able to see the bigger picture and look at the flying programme as a whole...
why leave a TCX aircraft on the ground in NCL for a few hours and sub a flight out from MAN at a ridiculously high cost...
and yes i would tell the pax that is why the aircraft was diverting to MAN - it stops a back lash when they eventually undoubtedly find out!!!

Nothing to do with which base it is.....
