No flights flying into or out of London airports? Really?

BAW102 from Calgary was heading to Heathrow although has now turned back on itself and is circling over the North West at 35,000 feet.

BAW274 from Las Vegas to Heathrow is currently over the West of Ireland at 35,000 feet describing a circular pattern.

BAW84 from Vancouver to Heathrow is currently over the Isle of Man at 34,000 feet and heading for the South East.

BAW17V from Denver to Heathrow is also near the Isle of Man at 37,000 feet.

An unknown(!) BA 747 is also just nearing the Cornish coast, presumably heading for Heathrow or Gatwick...

EZY30M appears to be shuttling between Luton and Liverpool.

A private Cessna 550 from Monte Carlo is currently over Nottingham.


In fact at present I can see 12 flights over the UK and Ireland

You can monitor them, along with me at Watch Air Traffic - LIVE!".


The identifiers are the plane callsigns not the flight numbers, although those are also shown on the linked website.


What is going on?

Thanks for the reference to the site, I never knew it existed, and I worked for NATS on radar systems before I retired!
I wonder what happens if one of them declares an emergency (say low on fuel)!
