Hi all,

Seems the Air Transat flight from Montreal to Brussels has been diverted this morning (source: biac.be):

31/10 arr 06:30 TSC618 YMX-BRU diverted 07:03 A313

The return flight BRU-YMX, scheduled for dep 08h05, is delayed till 10h00. So it doesn't seems to be a major problem. Possible fuel shortage perhaps? (but that's just a guess).

Maybe the foggy weather has something to do with it

Indeed Luchtzak, the weather was the biggest problem at BRU. RVR 300m at some moments

The TSC and FI1888 where both diverted to AMS.

I confirm there was heavy fog in BRU during that noght. I was at the airport at 02:00 to pick up my daughter coming from Lanzarote. All planes landed safely though!

An A310-300 like the one of TS is not CAT III certified.

It's probably the reason why as many other aircrafts were able to land at the same time (e.g the SNBA 330s).
