    Hi,
    Just checked this on Flight Radar and I reloaded the browser and restarted it, so dont think its a glitch.

    It says a EI flight 1586 is landing in Dublin , but it is a Boeing 757 and the Airline says Titan and it has a BA flight number of 264 and it was heading to Heathrow from Washington.

    Like I said in other threads don't rely fully on the info show in FR24 especially the route window as it gets its info from its own website or that info may not have been updated by the pilots

    From the looks of it EIN586 went tech this is Titan airways replacement aircraft most likely wearing 1586 as its empty and inbound to operate later as the 2586 to Malaga. The 2 is put in to plans as there is already a 586 in the system and this avoids confusing the system and is easy to come up with so it doesn't clash with other aer lingus call signs.

    Sorry should have said Titan specialise in this they have an aircraft and crew standing by to fill in gaps at very late notice. Aer lingus use them all the time. Aer lingus don't have spare aircraft sitting around as they are fully utilised during the summer schedules. So they hire in if one goes tech.

    An EI A321 went tech in Faro yesterday evening and has just arrived back in the last little while and of course it being July loads on AGP were largely than 174 seats on the A320.
