Long shot but does anyone know why SN2899 BRU-EVN diverted yesterday 21sept ? Weather was fine, other airlines were landing while this flight was holding for 45min before diverting to Tbilisi. Are they not approved to land on runway 27 like other airlines?
Re: Diversions from around the globe (medical, technical, ...) 2019
At the time of arrival of SN2899 in Yerevan, all airlines had to use another runway in EVN, but due to issues with the GPS signal onboard the aircraft, the Brussels Airlines plane was not able to use that specific runway. That is why the flight was diverted to Tbilisi.Bruphopper wrote: ↑22 Sep 2019, 17:36Long shot but does anyone know why SN2899 BRU-EVN diverted yesterday 21sept?

According to Flightradar24, OO-SNM performed a rather unusual flight from BRU to LJU as SN9905. Just a planned charter or maintenance flight or stand-by for a likely Adria Airways collapse?

It might be related to the European Volleyball Championship quarter finals currently held in Ljubljana, after preliminary games in Belgium.skumfiduse wrote: ↑23 Sep 2019, 21:17According to Flightradar24, OO-SNM performed a rather unusual flight from BRU to LJU as SN9905.
