Hainan Airlines flight 753, an Airbus A330-900neo registered B-32MU, was bound for Manchester Airport (EGCC) when it diverted, according to airlive.net. The flight, operating under callsign CHH753, was tracked for about 177 minutes from its first ADS-B fix at 3:28 a.m. UTC on August 16, 2026.
ADS-B data reviewed by SkyMeter shows the aircraft was already at cruise altitude near 38,000 feet when the recording began, heading west at around 442 knots near Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport. The flight then executed a series of heading changes, turning left to a southeast heading near Stockholm-Bromma Airport and then right to a westerly heading near Visby Airport, before gradually step-climbing to a peak of 38,823 feet. A descent began around 5:39 a.m. UTC, with the aircraft dropping from above 38,800 feet at rates reaching 7,770 feet per minute at points during the descent. The track shows the aircraft reaching ground level and coming to a stop, consistent with a landing, at 7:25 a.m. local time (06:25 UTC) at Manchester Airport.
The recorded ADS-B track shows the aircraft taxiing after landing, coming to a standstill for roughly nine minutes before moving again, and ending the recording in a pushback or slow-roll phase at the gate. The full flight can be replayed on SkyMeter.
