The Diversion Summary is a weather overlay that shows the number of diverted flights to and from an airport. It lists the aircraft identification, previous and current destination, and flight status. Updates are loaded every 5 minutes. When the mouse pointer hovers over a Diversion area, a Hot Tip opens to show details of the number of diversions of an airport.
