KLM have confirmed that they will be operating an extra daily return flight between Amsterdam and Glasgow airport from next April.

The airline has also increase flights into neighbouring Edinburgh airport.
 
Hi New Guy Here 🙂

Don't know if this is the right place to post but I noticed today (5/1/12) on flightradar24.com that a KLM 747-400 (PH-BFS) Operating KLM686 from Mexico City to Amsterdam diverted into Glasgow shortly after leaving Atlantic airspace over northern Ireland. I tracked it and actually watched it fly over my house before it landed on rwy 23 around 2PM.

I looked on KLM's website and they said they were expecting delays because of high winds in Amsterdam. This surprised me as I would of thought a 744 would of been less likely to be affected by this. Would anoyone be able to say if this is why they diverted into Glasgow or if there was another reason for it?

Thanks, Scott
 
Hi Scott thank you for joining and welcome to Forums4airports.

It would appear the aircraft what you had seen was making a fuel stop en-route to Amsterdam. All be it a very welcomed unusual visitor!

Thanks for sharing those pictures!! I just wonder why it went to Glasgow instead of Prestwick... I thought heavy diverts normally went to Prestwick...

Fuel low, it wont have been overly heavy to pop the aircraft into GLA. I guess it's the captains discretion where he lands although like you say, usually you would expect them to use PIK. I'm sure you wont be complaining if they do that again sometime!
 
KLM has added a fifth daily departure (Sun-Fri) at GLA in April-June & September-October

Flight KL943 departs Amsterdam at 1950 and arrives in Glasgow at 2020
Flight KL944 departs Glasgow at 2050 and arrives in Amsterdam at 2320

Currently operating with E175's and will be welcomed given the reduction in Lufthansa capacity.

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
