Yes you are correct, seems to be 5x in 2019, though I could have sworn it was 5x in 2020 when I last checked. So actually a reduction high summer

[ROC10]

Yeah I was pretty sure NCL had more than 3/4x weekly to PMI ask I know EDI has 4x weekly and only has one based aircraft.

[Jamesair]

It has actually had three changes for Summer 20.....it started at 5 weekly then it was reduced to 3 and now it has been increased to 4.

Has the fifth flight been replaced by anything yet? If not, it could be added later as PMI again.

[Jamesair]

Excluding Long Haul, the differences from the 2019 schedule to the 2020 schedule is Palma...reduced to 4 flts weekly, Rhodes increased to 3 weekly and a new flight to Agadir which seems to be a gain of 1 flight

[VentureGo]

Notice a couple of Edinburgh bound flights are diverting into Newcastle after leaving holding pattern just south of Edinburgh, with more holding over Southern Edinburgh area.
Currently easyJet 807 from Gatwick and easyJet 3385 from Venice are on NCL approach.

ref. FR24

[Plane mad 134]

Diverted because of sever weather which was thunder and lightning plus severe rain and hail, there was also some freak wind gusts too.

Diverted due to a passenger taking ill.

[ash666]

"""We were told a woman was seriously ill after having a seizure so we had to divert the flight and land in Manchester."

[P330]

Thanks for the update.

Rarely does posting on this site become personal, but the interest from me is that I have elderly relatives on that flight travelling alone. Neither carry mobile phones. No easy way to find out if it was our own relatives who were taken ill - though I would hope we would have heard by now if so.

Hope the lady involved makes a full recovery as soon as possible.

The CAA May 2019 statistics have now been published on their website

G-EZGE causing a few problems for EZY the last few days - out of action for 36 hours and back in service today before going tech again. PMI cancelled today as a consequence and FAO delayed yesterday, not ideal.

I don’t fly with EZY too much but have noticed anything over 3 hours often seems to get cancelled!
