Maybe diverted due to bad weather/fog in Manchester?

how Shaheen Air accommodated the Manchester bound passengers after diversion to Birmingham?

As per FR24, -BMI also diverted to BHX on 18/12 after -BML diversion though -BMI continued to MAN from -BHX but log for -BML is not visible whether -BML continued to MAN later?

Actually, AP-BMI performed relief flight to Birmingham on December 18 because her sistership AP-BML experienced some technical problem after her diversion to Birmingham due to weather situation at Manchester.

The two sisterships photographed at Birmingham Airport on December 18.

AP-BML diverted to Birmingham because one of its tyre deflated , maybe after its rotation from Islamabad something went wrong. It wasn't because of bad weather.

Shaheen has an agreement with an engineering company in Manchester - why would the tyre being deflated cause it to be diverted to Birmingham?
