I was on that plane, so frustrated that the pilot chose Manchester for the diversion, we lost 5h trying to find fuel, instead of being 60-90min late ! Now Lufthansa's refusing to compensate the passengers saying the weather was the problem, but all other planes landed on time in Frankfurt. I think it was just poor fuel management on the pilot's part (he said he didn't have enough fuel to wait in the circuit, but if he didn't have enough fuel for 5-10min of standby, then the margins weren't calculated right)... Oh well, it was at least a story to tell. Thanks for taking a video :) PS: I confirm the 747-800 doesn't exist, it was only mentioned a few times by mistake by the FAA, it's 747-8

What a beautiful landing by a beautiful plane. The daddy, mummy, uncle and aunt of them all. Oh I wish more airlines including BA flew the 747-8.

@blueskyliveAviation, this is going off off-topic but I said to aviation fans on the Facebook page that if had the money and back from investors I would bring back either british midland airways or britannia these icons. Back on the topic it nice to see lufthansa boeing 747-800 into Manchester airport. I am glad people's like Blue Sky Live Aviation record it for people like me to see I am aviation fans. Keep up with good job

Still a magnificent sight and always will be! ❤ Anyway, as for all the speculations what caused the sudden unexpected visit: they were just stopping by for pint in the nearest local … 😂 But more seriously, if the reason for the unplanned stop was indeed a medical emergency I hope the person with the serious health problems is well again! 🙂❤️‍🩹 From FRA with love to the UK! ❤

Exquisite! 😍 Second Queen I've seen today. Had a long, lingering look at Cathay Pacific Cargo 747 that landed at LHR ~BST17:00.🥰

That’s amazing wish I was there today to see that

@seb.9775 Ай бұрын

Nice one guys, TAS now said that the reason for divert, was “ apparently” to take on extra fuel ahead of likely extra holds at FRA due to weather

@blueskyaviation5676 Ай бұрын

Cheers seb, thanks for letting us know

@christianbayerstein5243 Ай бұрын

That doesn’t make sense, the distance Mexico City to Frankfurt is less than 10 000 km which is far less than the maximum range of 13 000km with full payload, and it was a flight to the west which means less fuel consumption. If they didn’t have enough fuel for some extra rounds in Frankfurt , someone clearly did not carefully check the weather forecast for Frankfurt. The weather forecast for the next 12h is absolutely precise and reliable nowadays.

Seeing reports of a medical emergnecy aboard - passenger with cardiac arrest. Not sure how reliable that info is thogh.

@marjolein523 Ай бұрын

During the livestream, people came with all kinds of reasons why it could have been diverted. But that's all speculation. If it was indeed a medical emergency, I can only hope that the person is doing okay.
