there was a who's who lineup at BOM today with many DEL flights...

on the remote bays were not only KLMs awesome T7 and China Airlines beautiful A330 but also the fantastic CO T7 which flew directly from EWR only to divert to BOM... what a flight that must have been!!... i would have loved to check her loadsheet and arrival weights out!! not to mention her flight plan all the way to BOM! Cool

incidentally this is my first sighting of all 3 airlines a/c in real life.. so i was pretty awed Laughing

It must have been great to have three American Carriers together at the tarmac at BOM. Cool
It was KLM's second successive diversion to BOM.It was in BOM on the 31st along with Alitalia.Air France was diverted to Hyderabad with Continental going to Islamabad.
Although due to heavy fog,American Airlines is operating as schedule without any diversions from DEL.

same as us... we have been landing consistently in 50m visibility and variable RVRs... although we at BOM have been on standby for the entire week now!!.. and its a collective sigh of relief when we see touchdown on our systems for LH760 and LH762...

infact we watch them so closely.. we almost forget about 756 Laughing

The 3rd Fogged day at DEL of the last Forthnight.This time its attributed to the Cold wave up north,hence looks like a few more Long Night....Day....Night.....Day...Night at BOM.

Yes D-ABTH,LH flights are arriving into DEL even before schedule. Smile

BTW CO82/83 has been cancelled for 2 January.Not good for CO since this is the end of the Holiday Season and CO flights from DEL are generally full throughout the year.

Wow - this must get really tedious for the airlines and the passengers involved. Imagine being diverted after a 16 hour non-stop flight from ORD or EWR! For once I see the sense of a one-stop flight via Europe!

aren't CO or AA's B777s CAT enabled? I remember my AC A343 landing in dense fog on Dec 25, 2004, whereas my friend on 9W MAA-DEL diverted to AMD after circling around Radisson about the same time.

If the RVR falls below 50mts then the aircrafts cannot land as DEL airport is not CAT IIIC enabled. RVR below 50mts needs CAT IIIC auto land system

and at or just above 50m is the commanders call.. 75 and above is usually pretty good for a landing with no major hassles

DEL condition seems to be bad. A lot of cancellations and diversions have created havoc at the airports

Shifted in the sense they had to tow away their Aircraft to a remote bay & the Bays were reserved for transitting Aircraft & could be Towed back only post Transit ops by our Freighters.

being put up in hotels has nothing to do with being allowed to clear immigrations.. usually as per norms.. the flight is expected to "complete" its journey at its scheduled destination.. in this case DEL. since it involves a lot of regulations specific to international operations, the laws require that all individuals on the particular flight scheduled to disembark at its original destination in the country must do so at that place.. hence for a lot of reasons,protocol and regulation included, the flight has to be completed as per originally planned and immigrations will allow disembarkation and clearance only at the original destination.

someone who is more sound at law and regulation specific to this area may be able to explain it more clearly. Hotel accomodation will always be provided by the airline in these conditions.. similarly for AOG situations and cancelled flights.

In my experience when this happened (with BA about 8 years ago!), the airline authorities take responsibility for the passengers, and the pax don't have to clear immigration while leaving or returning. What happens is that the airline took my passport (I think that's all they took), and gave me a transit boarding card (or something like that) in return. Then I was put in a cab and sent off to the hotel. The next day the cab picked me up and took me back to the airport, where i got my passport back after returning the transit card.

There' always the chance that the passenger may run way leaving his passport behind, but I guess that's a minimal/acceptable risk.

What happens if a flight diverts to the final destination of a passenger? A person flying CO on EWR-DEL and taking a domestic flight from DEL-BOM.

The CO flight is diverted to BOM. Can this guy get off at BOM and go home or does he go back to DEL with the a/c and flies back to BOM?

ideally it would be return to DEL and then enter the country.. i think what you misunderstood for final destination is "that of the passenger" i didnt mean that.. what i meant was final destination of the scheduled flight. Smile

like i said it has a lot to do with the laws of the country pertaining to operations of scheduled flights and immigrations apart from customs etc. regulations of civil flights and agreements signed between countries are subject to terms and conditions and a whole lot of definitions as per law.. for that precise reason you cannot have flights divert anywhere in a country offload everyone or a majority then operate to the intial destination planned.. pick up a load and fly back out..

I think it (clearing immigration at alternate/diversion airport) could also have to do with the checked-in baggage. So (and I am guessing here . . .) only those passengers who had hand baggage would probably opt to clear immigration at the alternate/diversion airport.

There was also a BA diversion on 3rd of January'07, going to Mumbai, which reached Delhi at 11pm on 3rd instead of at 2am.

I was kind of lucky on those dates, managed to swing through on 2 flights, on 1st and 3rd of January, with no infight delays. (Though the flights themselves were re-scheduled, one each on Indigo and Jet Airways).

not really... but yes from 2 points of views..

1 customs formalities .. which wouldnt normally be a problem if the passengers were allowed to clear in BOM itself if immigrations decided to allow it... HOWEVER... customs can themselves deny the airline permission to offload baggages and/or cargo.. so thats the first point

2 secondly.. logistically it wouldnt be feaseable for the airline to offload bags for a few passengers who opt to disembark at the alternate point while a majority would be heading to the original destination... for obvious reasons being offloading the containers and tracing the baggage and then reloading them onto the aircraft..
