Same aircraft departed again about 2 hours after landing at AMS. Thus medical perhaps?

Cracked windshield apparently, although it does mention a replacement aircraft. (I know from experience a windshield takes at least 6-8 hours to replace, so I can’t imagine the same aircraft departed 2h after)

My computer screen has a crack too and it showed PH-BHD twice yesterday, where it should have showed PH-BHD PH-BHO.

Because indeed, PH-BHD remained on the ground. Actually it's scheduled for Singapore tonight.

Storm Bella is causing a lot of diversions in many European countries. See our Spotting forum for diversions to Belgian airports (BRU and LGG).

Here are the diversions from CDG;

CA571 is diverting to Frankfurt
CA625 is diverting to Munich
SU2454 is diverting to Amsterdam

Other flights (from other airlines) to LIL diverted to BRU today. Somewhat closer than returning to BOD.

Strange indeed, they even came back to LIL later after a roundtrip to CRL !
