Weather problems hit Manchester and Liverpool Airport
18.10.07
Eight planes had to be diverted from Manchester Airport last night because of fog. Six flights landed at Liverpool Airport and two were diverted to the East Midlands. A reader also tells us that an easyJet flight to Liverpool Airport was diverted to Manchester last night too.
The Manchester problems were exacerbated because airport only had one runway - runway two - working due to maintenance work. This runway takes less aircraft in poor visibility weather, however, flights were re-fuelled at Liverpool and East Midlands and re-directed back to the airport, landing an hour later than expected.
A reader tells us that easyJet flight EZY 7224 to Liverpool from Berlin, an A319 number G-EJAR, was due to land at 17:56, but was diverted to Manchester. He was told that Liverpool Airport had temporarily closed, we assume because of the weather.
