Just seen evening flight between Stansted and Belfast cancelled, is this a Belfast based aircraft causing the issues on London flights?
delays also due to parts of the apron being unsafe for passengers, resulting in flights only getting front steps

"I could be wrong but I thought that the Seattle flight that diverted was the BA038 and it was a 747, The only reason I remember it at all is because it was the flight that I was going out of Heathrow on 3 weeks later."
Yes that 9/11 diversion to BFS was a 747; there used to be a photo of it on the Ulster Aviation Society website but its format has changed now..

Dont think the reports will be very good indeed.Servisair the handling agent for FR refused to de ice the aircraft.It was left to Menzies to do it after they had got their last flights out.Passengers sat on aircraft for nearly 4 hrs.Not a good show from a company loosing business and staff hand over fist.

Servisair, as of 1400 this afternoon only has a couple of cubes left of de-icing fluid, so their scheduled services take priority. How they have ran so low I don't know, same happened last year and before. Menzies ofcourse has to give priority to their scheduled services, they seem to have plenty of fluid always on station, about 20,000 litres of ecowing, some of which is 100% fluid, and I think the 22 cubes (22,000 litres) of killfrost is also theirs at checkpoint one

In the latest Jet2Holidays brochure Our Destinations — Intro — Jet2holidays.com A45321 Jet2holidays Dec10 on the cities flight guide, showing the option of a Belfast citybreak departing from Manchester, flights up to daily for the winter 2011/12 season. A mistake as Leeds Bradford missing is missing??

Ryanair started it by saying there was no need to close the runway for so long this morning. It's on Ryanair news. The DAA also reminded Ryanair about the aircraft skidding of the runway in PIK a year ago today. Well done to the DAA.
