Diversions from around the globe (medical, technical, ...) 2020

[Passenger]

KLM flight #KL705 to Rio De Janeiro (Boeing 787-9 reg. PH-BHD) returned to Amsterdam. Reason unknown.

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

Looks like FR has joined the flight to nowhere concept... on a scheduled flight.

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 !
