Korean Air KE037 diverts to KMSP
Korean Air flight 037 diverts to KMSP due to poor weather conditions at ORD. But Asiana Airlines flight 236 arrives at ORD. (flightaware.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
it is the pilots decision to divert. maybe his intended time of landing and the present weather conditions didn't look to good to land @ ORD. sure, it is costly but, safety is #1.
this is major news.....planes never have to divert after flying 12 hours....maybe they really dont have unlimited fuel.
alistair and myron both of you might be right but i am leaning towards not enough furl or an unruly passenger
Agreed Mark!, but if a mechanical was involved as much as a switch indicator, your going to park the plane! Flown many

So perhaps Asiana flight 236 landed after this storm moved out. Just a guess...

Maybe the weather changed? Let's look into it...
I looked closely at this case and i found out that, Asiana airliners flight 236 departs Seoul ahead of KE037 so Asiana 236 got inside the ORD airspace and had to circle around many times until he got clearance to land at ORD. But on the other sider, KE037 wasn't in the ORD airspace and was near MSP airport so the captain made the change to divert to MSP rather than go to ORD and circle for a long time because maybe they didn't have enough fuel...
