2 flights diverted, 1 delayed, 50 Mtrs visibility in Fog. Bristol has CATIII ILS, but the crew or aircraft may not be able to use it, or there could be a technical issue at Bristol preventing CAT !!! usage

App is stuck for me since late last night. Website seems to be working ok.

(ETA, and literally as I typed that, the app started working again!)

The airport listings have gone awol

26 phantom departures from Shannon between 6pm and midnight similar from other Irish airports.

Edit: All dissapeared now, it seems simply posting here solves all issues

JCX BXC

Airport listings going crazy again, 25 phantom departures from Shannon, 24 from Cork and many more from Dublin. Wonder what's going on, and how all these are getting into the system!

A helicopter owned by an Irish businessman that previously showed its type on FR24 is now showing up as "blocked". Currently over Tipperary

Cork's Runway 17/35 is now 16/34 after a changeover last night for anyone hearing on ATC.

Why is he turning around.

Why did he turn around though, if he need to land he could have landed in Shannon. Why Heathrow

BorneTobyWilde

Too high, he'll need to drop fast to make Heathrow. Needs to circle a bit

Not all reasons to return pose a threat to the aircraft or passenger safety, could just be that they have an equipment failure meaning they can no longer fly over the ocean. The company can decide that Heathrow gives them more options to get the aircraft repaired or get passengers on their way by alternative means.
