Abnormalities in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2016

[DIBO]

Medical emergency?

Confirmed, 1 male. Doctor and medic among the pax.

Unconfirmed information for the moment, says the flight BMS 8T operated by aicraft registered as YR-BMA (Blue Air) was allegedly intercepted by two military aircraft of Belgium after failing to answer to radio communication for 30 minutes, while entering the air space of Belgium. Because of that it got a TCAS RA Climb on 400 m, close to the limit of 400m. Allegedly the frequency fo emergencies, 121,5 wasn't monitored by the crew. Could anyone with connections find out more about this incident ?

P.S. Sorry for being mostly absent on this forum, job and stuff don't allow for too much time...

PH-TFC ...diverted to BRU

Overweight landing with fire brigade standing by for possible overheated brakes. But an hour and a half later, it was again on its way. So my guess would be medical emergency/diversion??

Today's Lot LO-8177 Tallinn-Brussels returned to Tallinn after 40 minutes:

Nose gear indicator problem.

CityJet WX237 (LCY-ANR) diverted to BRU due to adverse weather conditions. All passengers were
transferred by bus to ANR.

Cityjet WX 238 (ANR-LCY) is cancelled and all passengers are offered bus transportation to RTM to travel on WX88.

Why not a bus transfer to BRU where the plane was actually located?

[sn26567]

The TUIfly E190 OO-JVA om Alicante (flight TB4222) also tried to land at ANR before diverting to BRU.



And even before landing at ANR at STA 21:25, TB4658 from Malaga is announced as diverting to BRU.

Serious fog at ANR?

[Passenger]

Serious fog at ANR?

Absolutely (at 1,5 kms from ANR, that is).

[Hue]

Visibility in Brussels 250 meters. Runway visual range 350m. Clouds broken 50 feet. Freezing fog. Several diversions. Follow me service available for pilots on request. Remote de-icing platform open. Temperature minus 2.

[DIBO]

EBAW: vis 100 m./ rvr 400 m./ cloud broken 100ft / freezing fog -> so more arrivals today (the scheduled ones diverted anyway)

[sn26567]

Several diversions in BRU? I only see Ryanair FR2905 from Malta (B738 EI-DWW) diverted to Charleroi.
