    Hi lads. Just following the tracking if a package I ordered from Amazon and was shipped by ups. It was shipped from england to Germany. Prob a main depot and was then shipped to Dublin.

    Then 40 mins later its displayed as it was in Shannon.

    Surely ups don't fly a plane from Dublin to Shannon. When they ship the bulk of there stuff to Germany for further dispatch

    Maybe a pilot is aware if ups fly a plane from dub to Shannon

    I would have thought a UPS truck would take it from Shannon to Dublin?

    A truck wouldn't make it down in that time frame

    Dont quote me on this, but I'm nearly sure that there used to be (probably not any more) and evening flight from SNN -DUB and then onto the main UPS European depot in either Frankfurt or Brussels.

    Now that I think about it that could have been a DHL flight.

    There is a cargo flight that lands every morning from Dublin, around 5.30am Monday-Friday. It departs back to Dublin again that same evening around 7pm. It's operated by Maersk Air, a Boeing 767, and is used to ship UPS parcels.

    There is also a flight from Paris to Shannon via Cork with FedEx and a flight from East Midlands with Eurotrans (operating for DHL) around the same times.

    Yes it does appear to go from Dublin to Shannon. UPS is operated by Star/Maersk.

    Its not uncommon for flights to go to shannon after dublin. I think some aer lingus flights to the US do this also.

    Star Air/Maersk operate B762F SNN-DUB-CGN for UPS

    Air Contractors operate ATR42F SNN-ORK-CDG for Fedex

    Think mine was on the same flight. Left Dublin at 5:33 and arrived in Shannon at 6:12. Out for delivery as of 8:55.
