New Ryanair arrival.

mayotom

I have just noticed a flight on the casper flight tracker about to land in Dublin but listed as RYR8001 from Boeing Field in Seattle, there is no aircraft registration or any other details, however it is listed as flying direct from BFI to DUB. That just seems to be impossible, so it got me wondering, what is the normal proceedure for Boeing to deliver new aircraft? do they have a few stops along the way, like Flyglobspan used to when they flew 737's from Knock to New york/Boston.
Does it fly here under US/boeing registration or ryanair?

There are also the three flights below which would be around the same time, the new delivery is not listed on Arrivals of course



Memmingen Ryanair FR2413 14/01 14:25 Arrived 14:26

Edinburgh Ryanair FR815 14/01 13:45 Arrived 14:28

Birmingham Ryanair FR667 14/01 14:35 Arrived 14:29

Irish/Ryanair registration.

And yes, it's a non stop Boeing Field to Dublin flight. All the way on one tank of gas.

What route would it take? Taking ETOPS regulations on a Boeing 737 800 into consideration.

I think ETOPS doesn't apply on a non-commercial/passenger flight. If it did, Ryanair would need another operator with ETOPS certification to operate the delivery on it's behalf.

Yes usually, not this time though. I believe it made a fuel stop in Iqaluit in Canada en route.

Me bruvver flies for Ryanair and he regularly goes to Boeing Seattle to test flight a new 737-800 and then fly it home, usually non stop.

All they have to do for the flight is install a HF radio, which is removed when the plane lands in Dublin.

Here is a photo of Greenland taken by my brother when delvering a new 737-800 from Boeing Seattle to Dublin direct. If you look (closely) on the nose you'll see one of the diversion airports (oreintated in 11 o clock position). I think it's Stomfjord.
