I'm unable to post the screenshot at the moment but on Manchester Airport aviation page someone posted that apparently Jordan aviation flights are moving to Doncaster Sheffield airport DSA and that Manchester slots have been cancelled. Don't know how true this is but very much possible considering they've cancelled the flights and A330 has gone back and already done a flight to Turkey and back

Heard the same about the flights being moved to Doncaster from July, due to them always missing their slots at Manchester, which caused problems with staffing.

Someone forwarded me this message, supposedly from a travel agent,let's see how it goes tomorrow.
PIA flight PK9701/9702 on 5th and the 8th of July are being diverted to Doncaster Airport owing to operational issues from Manchester Airport.
New flight destination and timing please contact with your travel agent.

Today, chartered Jordan Aviation Airbus A330-200 registration JY-JVB arrived in Islamabad as flight R54492 from Doncaster via Lahore where the flight was apparently due to bad weather (rain) in/around Islamabad.
Now, the aircraft is airborne as Islamabad to Birmingham flight R54483.
Manchester Airport is absolutely stretched at the moment with not enough staff from check in to security and baggage handling. For this reason they have prioritised regular scheduled flights and cannot accommodate these charter flights.
