its probably a mistake then

[bigflyersmallbyer]

Why would it be a mistake? A 738 could make the journey. Lots of aircraft are out of position seems like something KLM would do.

I don't think KLM have a 737 route that far? How would it be out of position?

There is currently a BA aircraft on 129.1 (missed his call sign poss BA074) says he can hold for up to 3hrs as he has been told there are negotiations currently going on behind the scenes to allow him & possibly others to land at LHR.

[jetblast787]

Speedbird 84 seems very determined. They are flying over the isle of man and are about to start their seventh loop while holding at FL340.
they only have 2 hours of fuel left apparantly before they would have to divert to paris or madrid

NEWS JUST IN:

There will be a phased opening of UK airspace from 2200 tonight.

[jetblast787]

Speedbird 84 looks like its diverting to a shannon or dublin

rlCYv_PAtYE

From CNN -

Quote

British officials: UK airspace to reopen at 10 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) after nearly a week of closure due to ash from a volcano.

[SetClimbThrust]

BAW84 just holding over NANTI FL260 looks like they are going to wait for LHR to accept them haha

[jetblast787]

what a God mess!

[BuboBubo]

two SAS flights turned back after risking of going into an ashcloud.
The decision was taken by the pilots but SAS have a no-fly policy for areas affected by volcanic ash.

I got BAW84 on my screen now and on 119.775

She wasn't sure if they were officially open..LOL, only to follow up with 'we are open'

[jetblast787]

the race is being won by BAW084

and i don't hear her on 119.775

burning smell over bovingdon FL060 over brent cross

BAW084 10 miles from touchdown

they are making it dramatic by asking for a windcheck

seagull (the bird scarer) is in operation... no wonder why

tower just said welcome home before handoff to ground
