The handling of the diversion was dire with some saying we diverted as BA did not load enough fuel so the aircraft was always going to run into problems if it had to abort one landing. We were told on the ground in Edinburgh that we would refuel and depart for Glasgow but we ended up being left there after midnight. I get this is considered an exceptional situation but if the fuel story is true, BA will have known about the possible weather conditions in Glasgow and should have been prepared. These situations are always annoying but BA handled it appallingly and acted like they had landed on a remote island. What can we claim if anything?
