Yup, ATL was taking extensive ATC delays and it diverted into CLT...and canceled. The crew ran out of time.

BA is ferrying in a brake rider from ATL so we can get the plane off the gate. BA is sending a rep down to help with the passengers, who were put up at hotels. We are organizing a convoy of busses to get these happy campers down to ATL. Meanwhile, a new flight crew will eventually get here to ferry the plane back to LHR.

 

Just another day in paradise...

I know they did have some weather down in that area yesterday... I would guess that was the issue...

Looking at FlyteComm this morning shows that a BA772 visited CLT last evening it was routing London - Atlanta and arrived in CLT around 7.40pm.

About an hour later a DL763 also arrived in CLT it was routing New York - ATL.

Does anyone have any more info as to why they were here? Was there a problem in ATL?
