From here the transatlantic flights are still going enroute from / over the Netherlands in the direction of the UK...

Heading back to my patch around Melbourne, Oz

Much quieter!  Boring, but much less stressful !

Aircraft still seem to be routing via Lands End.  DAL7 to KATL and AAL115 to KJFK have just coasted out.  AAL55 over Dublin out of EGCC looks like it's heading for the same route.

Allocator,

Looks like it is just the more northerly crossings that are affected.

Very strange DAL7 seems to be heading towards UK/Scotland despite the route saying its OMDB- KATL - is it heading back to the UK?

It was certainly going SW whilst I was watching it.  I'll have another look.

Edit: Can't see it now, I'm presuming that it's flown out of cover to the SW?  Where was it when you saw it?

Edit again: There are 2 DAL7's out there!  N832MH going SW from Lands End and N830MH over Ireland heading SE.  Guess that the cres forgot to change the Flight ID?

Just to confuse things, there are actually 2x DAL7's going different directions :)
