Diverts of this kind are not so common.

I don’t know what happened (some security issue according to the airports twitter feedhttps://mobile.twitter.com/lyonaerop...97702508490752) and the CRJ is back in MUC according to FR24.

Some other flights were holding or actually in approach to GVA when LYS opened again

That‘s, of course, possible. Hope we will learn what went wrong there. (will fly MUC-LYS soon, so I am kind of curious ....)

I almost had the opposite a while ago, GVA closed for an emergency and MUC-GVA diverting to LYS. Except that just when we were on final approach to LYS, GVA opened again. So we went around and ended up in GVA after all.

Assume all will go well, but let me know if you end up in GVA.
