 Poster: A snowHead

Just watching a friend's flight from EDI to GVA on flight radar.
Was 2 hours late leaving EDI and now looks to be diverting to Zurich or Basle
Looking at the GVA arrivals board, everything is being diverted just now.
Hope those affected get where they are going - eventually!!

I was able to fly out of GVA about 2.00pm (after having two cancelled flights earlier in the day) and there was a lot of disruption, but that seemed to be as a result of incoming flights being out of place rather than GVA itself. Not sure why flights have been diverted unless the snow, which was very light this morning, has got much heavier.

rob@rar, some reports from Gva suggest snow there is quite heavy.

Just checked the aviation data, shows light snow but ceiling of 500ft which may be the problem.

It isn't snowing anymore and hasn't been for an hour. Not really sure how long it takes to clear a runway, but obviously a very long time. It just puts things into perspective with people moaning about UK airports. The fact is any airport in Europe will close with snow, not just UK ones.

On the rocks, we are at departure gate C. About 5 easy jet flight have just cancelled, plus loads of other airlines. Just looked out of the window, there is probably about 5" of snow on the ground. The worrying thing is the later liverpool flight has just gone, also there isnt much happening in terms of clearing snow. Anyone in the uk attempting to get here, I will be amazed if you do tonight.

I'm on BA waiting for a plane from LHR, it's going to be a looooong night. I think you're right re inbound flights, would imagine it will be very difficult getting into the mountains tonight too

The EZY Liverpool Newcastle Gatwick(x2) inbounds have been cancelled.
Runway clearance not the only snag - with the delays building thru the day crews will be out of hours and planes will be in the wrong place - deversions have been all round - not just to Lyon
As per the forecast (perhaps I should start another thread and not just put it on the Tignes one)

On the rocks the road in Tignes is running with water = no snags up here!

I spent 13 hours at GVA the January before last (with a 1yo in a pushchair).
That video of the bloke opening the tin of caviar got *really* boring by about the 600th time watching it.

Alastair Pink, thanks! We can hear planes landing/taking off again which is a bonus. We have been here delayed for 3 hours now, and the easyjet check in staff have all disappeared and we haven't been given any vouchers or anything.

Ricklovesthepowder, not EU? Wonder what the deal is. Last two flights weve had delays on the airlines have been very pro-active in issuing vouchers - only £5 per person though

chocksaway, it's been saying that for nearly 2 hours now. The worrying thing is the earlier Liverpool flight that had been scheduled to leave at 21.50 has now cancelled.
