Having made 2 missed approaches to Dublin Airport, Delta Airlines flight #DL44 from New York JFK (Boeing 767-400ER registered N839MH) diverted to Amsterdam due to winds associated with storm Barra. Apparently, six hours later, the aircraft is still at AMS waiting for better weather.

KLM Airbus A330-200, reg PH-AOE flight KL-535 from Entebbe Uganda to Amsterdam Netherlands, was en route at FL360 north of Entebbe when the crew needed to shut one of the engines (CF6) due to problems with the oil pressure. Mechanics are on the way to fix PH-AOE.

OO-SFG operating SN243 ROB-BRU diverted to PMI this early morning.

Short turnaround, landing 0355 and TO 0439, a 44-minute pit stop.

STA BRU is 0510 but according to Flightstats.com it seems the delayed arrival in BRU was determined well before the take-off from Monrovia.

Maybe they had realized they were short of croissants for the breakfast?

It's for a fuelstop at PMI.
For some reason there isn't (enough) fuel at ROB

According to data on FR24, the stop was at Barcelona Airport, after an aborted approach to PMI. PMI tank empty as well?

This is another one concerning the flight leaving ROB on 29DEC.
They approached PMI indeed and at around 6500ft diverted to BCN instead.

Seems airport workers are on strike after the announcement that NAS, the Kuwaiti Gnd Handling Co developing fast in Africa, would take over.
Last 2 months pay behind and NAS would take over the personnel but with an initial one-year probation period.
Meeting with government on Monday 03JAN.

SN had already re-routed BRU-ABJ-ROB-BRU to BRU-ROB-ABJ-BRU a few days ago.
AF is also affected and has stopped at DSS on the way back for refuelling.
