    On Flight Radar as an Omni Air aircraft, operating as EI 991, no destination listed but according to the DAA website its destination is Washington. I believe it operated an Aer Lingus ORD-DUB flight earlier today, but does anyone know why it's operating as an Aer Lingus flight to Washington (which isn't a scheduled Aer a Lingus destination)? If it was repositioning surely it wouldn't be listed on the DAA website, nor still using an EI flight number?

    EI cancelled a DUB-ORD-DUB rotation. They used Omni air to fly passengers from ORD to DUB. What you saw was that aircraft flying back to the USA empty.

    Not from dub and using the EI code.. Use the "Camber" Callsign when transferring troops and the omni when positioning to SNN etc..

    I thought that, but why was it still using an EI flight number and callsign? And why was the departure and destination listed on the DAA website?

    Because EI still pay for their positioning flights. So when still officially onlease they will use Shamrock. Seems a bit odd to me personally.

    Titan operate under EIxxxx flight number when coming to/from STN to DUB to operate for EI. I think they still use their own callsign> Open to correction?
