DIVERTED

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.
