Lufthansa flight LH470 from Frankfurt (FRA) to Toronto (YYZ) - Boeing 747-400 reg. D-ABVM - made a U-turn after reaching Northern England and squawking 7617 (radio failure). It returned to FRA.

Ryanair flight FR347 from London Stansted (STN) to Madrid (MAD) - Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 reg. EI-HGP - squawked 7700 (emergency) and diverted to Nantes Atlantique (NTE). Probably medical, because the flight was scheduled to take off again at 21:15 with the same plane. But will it?

KLM flight KL1370 from Budapest to Amsterdam (Embraer E190 reg. PH-EZL) made a U-turn shortly after reaching the Austrian border, squawked 7700 and returned to its departure point. Reason unknown. The plane is still at BUD at the time of writing.

easyJet flight U2-2937 from Bristol to Krakow (Airbus A320 reg. G-EZTM) diverted to London Gatwick after squawking 7700. Reason unknown, but probably medical, as the same aircraft is set to take off again.

UPDATE: the aircraft has been changed to G-EZRY, hence the problem might have been technical after all.

Why did UA169/12NOV divert to BRU?

[sn26567]

Why did UA169/12NOV divert to BRU?

A wild guess: it might have been technical, with the possibility to make repairs in Brussels. The aircraft took off again to EWR after more than 24 hours on the ground at BRU.

LUX closed. While other airlines diverted to HHN, BRU, LGG... BA decided to return to LHR.
