aer lingus diversion

browner85

i was driving down the malahide road about half an hour ago approx 4.15 and seen an aerlingus plane coming into land but then it took a sudden bank to its left twards malahide flew probably over kinsealy then i lost it!! anyone else see this or was i imagining this??

EI2503 A320 did a quick and tight go around, most likely due to a departing RyanAir not getting off the runaway quickly enough. Still not listed as in on the arrivals board.

Just had a quick look on Casper; http://casper.frontier.nl/unified/?location=eidw

At around 16.14 EIN 2503 an A320 approaches as normal up the east coast and turns left after Howth and flys over Portmarnock Links and Kinsealy to 10/28. The odd thing is the flight appears to have originated in DNR (Dinard, France). This would not be a normal scheduled flight. Maybe someone else could shed some light.

Crossed post with tricky D who is clearly more informed than me!

Bordeaux Aer Lingus EI2503 13 Jan 16:15

My guess is related to Heineken Cup games this weekend: Castres and Toulouse.

Looking at Aer Lingus booking site suggests flights to/from Bordeaux start March 25.

Well it is a bit confusing. Casper says Dinard, Arrivals says Bordeaux. I'd go with Bordeaux as casper isn't always accurate anyway (did you see the Air France in front of the EI landing in Fairview/Clontarf), the rugby punters would be more likely to come from further south than St Malo area and the flight has 4 numbers which suggests a 'special' to me, ie. for the rugby.

Eh, not quite. Looking again it's EI 545 from Nice, the one after the Bordeaux one, which does the go-around at 16:21.

The origin/destination as per those flight tracking sites are not derived from live data. As far as I can see, they are what someone has inputted to the site's database in the past and become out of date once a given flight number is reassigned to a different route.

It's called a Non-standard go around and is usually given as the standard go around will be occupied by a departure. It helps de-conflict the go around from the departure.
