Fog Forces KLM Flight to Divert

Tuesday, 10 November 2026 at 07:57

Thick fog forced an Amsterdam flight to divert from Norwich to Stansted while poor visibility caused several further cancellations locally.

Thick fog caused disruption at Norwich Airport on Monday 9 November, forcing an incoming KLM flight from Amsterdam to divert to London Stansted.

The aircraft had been due to land in Norwich during the early evening but was unable to complete its approach because of poor visibility.

Flight KL1059 circled the Norwich area several times before heading south to Stansted, where it was diverted.

The disruption also affected other services arriving at and departing from the airport.

Norwich Airport confirmed that the evening KLM flight KL1063 from Amsterdam was cancelled, alongside the corresponding early morning departure to Amsterdam on Tuesday 10 November.

The scheduled KLM service from Norwich to Amsterdam on Monday evening was also cancelled.

Other flights were affected, including a Loganair service from Aberdeen which was diverted to Newcastle.

The poor weather left passengers facing changes to their travel arrangements, with airlines responsible for informing affected travellers about alternative flights and rebooking options.

Fog can cause significant problems for airport operations because pilots must meet strict visibility requirements before aircraft can safely land.

Norwich Airport advised that KLM would contact passengers affected by the weather-related cancellations.

Travellers are being encouraged to check the latest flight information with their airline before setting off for the airport, particularly while foggy conditions continue to affect parts of the region.
