BA115 10JAN2019 Divert to YQY?
I am picking up friends @ JFK from BA115 LHR-JFK, BA site shows it as on time and FlightAware shows it as diverted / landed in YQY Sydney (Nova Scotia). Anyone know what is going on?

It’s just a combination duff data and the fact that for a large portion of a TATL flight there is no coverage so it is just drawing estimated flight paths. The zig zag flight path as it approached Canada I am sure didn’t really happen.

Again, Flightradar24 et al do not use any official data and just decides ADS data captured by hobbiest receivers. NATS airspace explorer app does use NATS radar feeds in UK airspace. As pointed out predicted tracks do not always resemble the NAT Track structure of the day.
