PIA 785 from Islamabad to LHR nu boven noordzee ten hoogte van AMS in afdaling. Gaat om een 77W AP-BHW. Richting AMS nu. EDIT draaide de bocht door nu richting RIVER
EDIT Gulf A332 en Virgin A346 maken ruime 180 graden bocht boven RIVER (zeeland)

DUS? FRA?

I think so. Virgin A346 made another 180 turn and another one 3 in total. Al turns are with a speed 480 kts! . PIA 77W climb to FL210 and in the direction of CDG.
BRU is more lucky already Royal Jordanian A332 and Biman Bangladesh 77E
Londen has about 15 cm of snow this Saturday. Schiphol would be crazy to accept more aircrafts. That would be very stupid. So a wise decision to not accept any other then the regulars. There are still thousands of Amsterdam passengers who need to get away and that's allready a problem, so even more passengers is not good.
I think you both are right. 9V-SWO is making big turn above Utrecht. And JAL 77W was almost flying above AMS in the directions of CDG. ANA 77W still above North Sea. Virgin flow in the direction north og London and Air Astana (made a few seconds passing my house) a big turn and is not in the direction of LHR anymore.
Vergeet ook niet dat een airline, welke op Amsterdam vliegt, hier altijd een vertegenwoordiger en/of een afhandelaar tot de beschikking heeft.
Zoals de Jal, ANA, Virgin, Gulf of Biman hebben dit allen niet (meer) en krijgen een prioriteit van niks.
Air Astana, British Airways of PIA zou nog enigzins mogelijk zijn (als voorbeeld).

Small business 'hit hard' by snow
Christmas travellers are facing severe disruption as heavy snow falls across many parts of the UK.
Heathrow and Gatwick airports were forced to close all runways amid severe Met Office warnings for parts of London, the Home Counties and Surrey.
Roads, railways and airports were all affected across Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England.
Airports in Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands are also suffering cancellations and delays.
Meanwhile hundreds of drivers were stranded overnight on the M6 motorway in Greater Manchester. Similar conditions in Germany and Italy also saw drivers stuck on icy roads, as temperatures plummeted.
The snow is forecast to continue in many parts of the UK, with up to 25cm expected in some areas of England, and severe weather warnings are in place.
Heathrow Airport said it closed its runways to allow snow clearing and to keep the airport safe, advising passengers to check with airlines before travelling to the airport. Airport operator BAA said they would remain closed until at least 1600 GMT.
Gatwick, meanwhile, said its runway would shut until at least 1500 GMT while crews de-iced and assessed ground conditions.
British Airways has cancelled all shorthaul flight from Heathrow for the rest of Saturday, and flights leaving Gatwick until at least 1700 GMT.
'Mayhem'
There was also disruption at Exeter, London City, Aberdeen, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff airports.

Winter weather has disrupted travel
What's the weather in your area?
View 5 day forecastBBC WeatherSource: BBC Weather In Northern Ireland freezing conditions continue to make travel difficult following some of the heaviest snowfall for 25 years - with more forecast.
Belfast International Airport has reopened, although delays and cancellations are expected, and Belfast City Airport has reopened for the "forseeable future".
The Northern Ireland Roads Service said slush from Friday had re-frozen overnight and Christmas shoppers should think carefully before setting out by car.
Jon Caudwell, from the Highways Agency, said they were doing their best to keep major roads in England clear but needed help from motorists.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "We've obviously got more and more snow coming, so we're really going to have to work very, very hard.
"We are asking the public to really seriously consider whether they do need to come out in these conditions and if they do come out they really must take extra care."
There were problems overnight on the M61, M58 and M57, with police advising people not to travel unless absolutely necessary.

British Airways has urged passengers not to travel to the airport if their flight is cancelled.
The airline said it had cancelled all of Saturday's shorthaul flights from Heathrow due to runways closures and passengers having difficulties getting to the airport. A decision on longhaul flights would be made "as soon as possible", said a statement.
"We are extremely sorry that customers may be inconvenienced. Our staff are doing everything they can to help," said BA.
Passenger Jade Price, whose BA flight to the US capital Washington DC was amongst those cancelled, said Heathrow's Terminal 5 was "absolute chaos".
The mother-of-two, from Uxbridge in Middlesex, told the BBC: "We sat on the tarmac with our two small children for four hours with no food before being told that we would not fly because the queue for de-icing was too long.
"Terminal 5 was absolute chaos. All luggage was lost - with no information about how or when it would be returned to us - and people were not given food, travel, or hotel vouchers...".
