Shannon airport

Nick Guats · 2012-01-21 20:47:47

Does it have a future ? knock will be booming in 2012 and shannon will be a ghosttown.I think something radical will have to be done to save shannon airport, Hand it over to ryanair imo.

I have read on the following link https://twitter.com/ShannonAirport/status/585756874848477184

That the An225 is arriving at Saturday 20:45 (8:45pm) and departing Sunday 11:00 (11:00 pm).

Hope it's true! How do you guys find this info? Is there a somewhere online to check the schedule of incoming aircraft. I also saw in the FR24 thread that 2 x 747s were due in last Saturday - where do people find this info, especially for non commercial, non scheduled flights?

I could be wrong but there is no Maddog down there
The last one a few years back was broken up

The Iberia 727 is still there and used by the Fire & Rescue Service

I'm amazed that Iberia let them use it without painting it over. Can you imagine a nervous flier who for arguments sake was flying on an connecting flight with Iberia seeing that, would'nt do much for their confidence.

Its flying from Bangor from what I've last heard. It probably won't show up on the departures/arrivals tables on Flight radar, so you'll have to keep an eye out.

Delta will no longer be using the 757 on the Shannon-JFK route next year and will now be using the 767-300. Great news.

I agree good news. How many seats does a 767-300 have in comparison to the 757-200?

When will the Ryanair summer schedule being released? Looks disappointing at the moment.

Great news for SNN, I went on one of those "buckets" a few years back, thank god it was a calm flight, it rattled enough as it was. I would'nt worry too much about FR, they will load their flights anythime up to xmas, at least that what they used do for Cork.

Not that version anyway, that's the one that goes to Hawaii. There's 5 versions of 767 and 9 of 757 so it was a waste of time looking at them.
