It is indeed a glitch, especially as couple week ago even the general aviation got evicted from HEM and there is now NOTAM announcing "RWY18/36 CLSD".

I recall few years ago I also spotted little more complex FR24 glitch of similar fashion as I saw some AY Paris flight listed as LBG-HEM, so not just one but two airports that no longer host regular commercial traffic!

I once landed at HEM according to FR24. In reality it was a normal GDN-HEL flight. So there are FR24 glitches every now and then.

Some years ago AY/Norra's E90 and ATR's were MLAT tracking in Flightradar and their flight routes were not realistic below 5000ft.

I'm sure I've seen a "diverted to HEM" statement on Flightradar24 at some point...

Are there stairs at HEM so that passengers can disembark from an aircraft without using the emergency slopes?

Today’s AY 10 diverting to HEM?
Got this interesting notice from Flighty.

Didn’t really look at AFD to see if an A350 could fit… though landing tends to be easier than taking off! My plans changed so I won’t be flying today. But everyone enjoys some Holiday mischief…. Unless it’s a 30 day quarantine

This is very common bug with AY6 and apparently now AY10 showing up as diverting to HEM, there's an existing thread about it but can't find it right now.

No worries, we can send you a few here! Copy and store somewhere safe Ĺ Ä Ö

Infact, they are not diacritic marks on top of regular letters, they are letters themselves and present in normal 8-bit ascii. So if you are on a PC if think you can get them by holding alt-key and type the ascii-code (197, 196 and 214 respectively) on the numerical keypad
and then release alt-key.

Especially as HEM doesn't have runways anymore After a long debate, the airport was closed in 2021 to make space for residential development.
