Yes, possibly I don't know all the facts and I am speculating a little. But can anyone comment as to whether an A319 can land on a one-mile runway with a full tank of fuel?
its par for the course for GIB, the ground staff are pretty quick off the mark, the coach leaves GIB for AGP within about 15 mins of the flight being diverted so probably quicker to go by coach from AGP to GIB than wait for a slot, trundle round the coast and land at GIB. Conditions change in minutes and change back in minutes so if your flight doesnt land but another airline does, its luck of the draw!. I am not sure about landing full of fuel but it is only a tiny runway.
