(In theory) theres an unusual flight operating tomorrow. A "ZT" flight from Belfast, comes in, and goes out to Berlin SXF. A quick (but not extensive) search suggests Air Zambezi.... surely not? Oh hang on, its probably Titan... anyone any idea what it might be?
RTG!

Any sign of NCL/AMS opening? I'm stuck in Thailand and I saw a satellite map/picture of the ash "cloud" on CNN and there isn't any left!!!! It's just a very tiny area over an insignificant part of Europe.

Looks like a busy night for NCL with 11 TOM A/C inbound! Let's hope the airspace remains open until 0100 & the PAX can get on home ground! Wonder they are all going to be parked?!?!

I see on the Airport website they are recruiting Media and Public Affairs personnel!
Does anyone know if this is additional to the current staff or replacement staff?
I've been trying to contact their Press Officer but with no luck!

Changing situation.
Latest info 5 x TCX inbounds and 10 TOM inbounds plus possible BA x2 tonight. Where will they park, presumably the regular based aircraft are mostly still there.

Diversions due in tonight:
11 TOM
5 TCX
1 BA
I am presuming that the aircraft will be parked on the taxiway (as most stands are occupied by based aircraft) and extra staff, equipment will be used to offload as all flights due in within a reasonably short space of time?!

With such short notice will other airports be staffed up to cope with any of the flights intended to go to NCL? Glad this things is over for now - good luck to all involved over the next few days - it will be chaos at best.

So, all the extra inbounds except one TCX aircraft, diverted to LGW and other airports that have re opened. The Air Transat appears to be going back to Toronto about 3am.
Looks like things will slowly return to normal starting tommorrow. Easyjet showing a full programme at the moment. Jet 2 running Murcia, Malaga and Palma. BA starting LHR from mid afternoon. Flybe from about 14 00 hrs. KL starting on Thurs with full service by Fri. AF similar to KL except starting Wed. Looks like all charters cancelled on Wed. Dont know about others.
Hopefully full schedule by SAT ??.

With regards to all the recent cancelled flights, are any scheduled airlines into NCL operating more flights, or larger a/c? Or are stranded pax being offered flights into other UK airports?
