There'll be a mad dash when LHR finally opens

6 BA flights have just landed at Shannon.... WTF when EGNT and EGPH are open, I'd be furious!

Looks like G-BNWC is going into Paris

G-YMML from Mauritius is over Switzerland heading in a hopeful fashion towards Heathrow

As to those other.....why dump them the far side of Ireland???.........what is going on.

The only thing I can think is that they are hoping to dump the PAX there and get the aircraft back over to the US, whereas if they land in Blighty, they may be stuck here for a few days?

Looks like CIVT has diverted to Shannon.

Yes, I was just about to post the same thing. That site (http://www.radarvirtuel.com/) is really good for this sort of thing.

Edit - Looks like it might be circling Dublin, but at the moment it is too high to land (27,000 feet)

Th ash cloud is as as far as Newfoundland now.

I see your point Ben........being able to fly the aircraft out again.

Boeing 747 G-BYGG from Laos holding between Alderney, Jersey and the French coast.....perhaps he'll divert into Alderney

That'd be worth watching mate

He's still going around.............I think he's waiting while Alderney adds another 8 thousand feet to the runway
