Very foggy here in London! When I woke up and looked out the window, my first thought was, gonna cause problems for early morning inbounds. Has the 787 actually landed? Maybe today is East Midlands (EMA)'s lucky day!

Due to fog at FRA. It's hella foggy outside in FRA today....
Yes: JA805A, first ever 787 to visit LHR. Now parked on a T3 stand currently looking at a departure 1000-1015 (LHR weather permitting - it is very foggy)

Quoting clydenairways (Reply 9): Isn't LHR a bit out of the way to divert to from FRA ?
I wonder why not MUC or CDG as they are other cities NH serves.
Always wonderers if this "last and final boarding call" is in fact THE last and final boarding call.

Id say this is pretty newsworthy as its the first ever visit of a 787 to Heathrow, should of stayed where it was originally posted

Wow a lucky break for LHR! I am expecting the 787 to turn up at LGW next!

Yes I agree, not many people come to this part of the forum especially non-members who most likely don't know this bit even exists so I'd say they would be missing out on important info.

You can't just divert to any airport. It has to meet the weather criteria as a legal alternate. None of these airports probably had that. LHR was the only airport that met the requirements as well as being an airport that ANA operates to.

I heard the ANA flight on ATC as I was flying into FRA myself. The fog was not too bad, it was only CAT II approach in progress, not even CAT III at 5:30am in the morning.
I don't know why they diverted, but maybe the pilots weren't trained for low visibility operation yet or still some certification going on?
Why LHR? Most airports around FRA were foggy, CGN, DUS, STR, NUE, MUC. I heard an Air China Cargo diverting to SXF because there were "no CAT II certified".
