Upthread we have some saying diversions to Malaga are very rare and others that it happens more often than you'd think. Does anyone have any stats on this e.g. on average is it a couple of flights a month or worse? I expect winter months are worse but then maybe winds are more troublesome in the summer months.
Just checked on FR24, historic data going back to 15 Dec 2019. On the following days there were diversions to AGP:
17 Sep (BA492)
01 Aug (BA492)
08 Jun (BA492)
27 Apr (BA492)
21 Mar (BA492)
20 March (BA 490)
02 Feb (BA 490, BA492)
25 Jan (BA492)
21 Dec ((BA 490, BA492)
20 Dec (BA 490)
19 Dec (BA 490)
