I noticed that the TOM Faro flight was due out at 14:40 yesterday and never went, and then when I looked last night was delayed until 21:20 and then, this morning it was due at 11.30 for departure... anyone know what happened here?

Its now due to land at 19:25 instead of 21:20 ish yesterday

The B738 (G-FDZE) didn't leave EMA to depart to FAO due to the crew being out of hours on the return to the UK. As far as i'm aware she departed to either IBZ or PMI today as per schedule.

Sorry - a real spotter question....

Was sat at the pub by the river, beer in hand, yesterday near Burton, just below the turn on to finals as 09 has been in use most of the weekend.

Am sure I saw a SAS 735 - was this a divert from BHX, a leased aircraft used by NB or was I just affected by the sun/beer combination?

Was SK7134 chartering for someone. EMA-OSL is not operated by NB on Mondays.

Purely a one-off or a summer charter?

Sorry another spotter comment, but its short...


Just saw TCX B757 land into EMA, 18:15, according to the EMA website, there was a TCX from LCA at that time... will the B757 be operating this all summer? or is it just replacing a aircraft for the time being...

They've not had that many diverts, probably about a dozen all day. A TOM this morning from MAN, a couple of Flybe's this morning, a couple of RYR's from LPL during the day. This evening they took a SWR F100 from BHX, a couple of Baby B737's and a Flybe DHC8 and then turned away other diverts.

I guess in the weekday evenings/nights with all the freighters in & out, they don't have that many empty stands to park diverts.
