Air Op's ran out of space on the ramp and had to park the Emirates 77W on taxiway Charlie just south of taxiway Tango. Also confirmed that 2 charters have committed to landing at the port for F1, 1 UA B777 and 1 UA 764. Both will be off-loaded via gate 2 and will process through the port's current custom's facility. The plan is to have staggered arrivals to facilitate processing as fast as possible.

Interesting news! Were all the diversions for the same airport & weather related? I was at the airport that day. I wish I had known so I could look for some of those planes...
Anyway, some much needed practice for ABIA...
