Looks like Neos 737-8 is diverting in to Glasgow from Akureyri due to strong winds in Iceland, it's been in the air for nearly 8 hours after leaving Tenerife earlier this afternoon

Just watched FR1133 EDI-BOH divert to PIK just as FR1132 departed PIK-DUB. Didn't think FR operated PIK-DUB?

FR24 is getting confused. FR1133 EI-DYL positioned EDI-PIK for maintenance. RK1133 is the scheduled EDI-BOH flight and is just pushing back as I type. FR1132 is positioning PIK-DUB after maintenance.

Southwest B738 N8621A showing on FR24 as due from Bangor, Maine, at 1936, having originated at Phoenix. Likely to be delayed as showing a 2h50 late departure from PHX.

I suspect this is one of the aircraft leaving the fleet in the wake an activist investor wielding the axe to try and improve the airline's performance, Southwest have been struggling a bit against the new LoCo carriers that are eating their market share.

It’s in the scheme of its new owners, Aramco the Saudi oil company.

Interestingly N8621A is in Saudi Aramco colours as they have had a rebranding going on for a while (new name Aloula Aviation) and another ex SWA 737 (N8622A) is fully painted as such.
