Some aircraft, such as F-HBXI, which diverted away from Birmingham #BHX are returning to their base airports without passengers to allow them to operate other flights. This aircraft operated #AF1314 which diverted to #EMA East Midlands Airport.

This will cause significant delays as more aircraft will be diverting. For example, the second daily Emirates flight #EK37 will likely have to divert (ETA is 19:12), with the other Emirates flight still stuck at the gate #BHX #aviation
