Not great. But at least our friends from Omni etc have returned since runway restrictions ended. And freight seems good, helps pay the bills.
Seems every time you open a local paper there's another coach firm offering direct service to Dublin Airport. A lot of business there to be won back if the routes available

What coach first has started recently? Wasn't personally aware of any.

Also, the idea of winning routes back is funny when they're being growth has stopped!

Airport adjacent but builders appear to have started work on the Starbucks near the entrance to the airport.

The hoardings been up month but the trees behind it appear to be gone this week.

STATUS RED

Wind Warning for Galway, Mayo, Clare, Cork and Kerry (Met Éireann)

Hurricane Ophelia is expected to transition to a post tropical storm as it approaches our shores on Monday bringing severe winds and stormy conditions .

Mean wind speeds in excess of 80 km/h and gusts in excess of 130km/h are expected, potentially causing structural damage and disruption, with dangerous marine conditions due to high seas and potential flooding.

Issued: Saturday 14 October 2017 13:18

Valid: Monday 16 October 2017 09:00 to Tuesday 17 October 2017 03:00

Disruptions look very likely at Shannon on Monday.

JCX BXC

I'd say it'll just be downright cancellations, as opposed to diversions.

However, we should wait until the Terminal Area Forecast (TAF) is issued on Sunday evening at 6pm to get a better picture of what to expect on Monday.

They're both.

DL406 inbound from JFK has diverted straight to Dublin.

UA24 from Newark cancelled due to an unrelated issue.

Remaining aircraft from the US (EI110 from JFK, EI134 from BOS and D81824 from Providence) have landed without issue this morning, however both Aer Lingus flights are delayed until after 3pm.

JCX BXC

DL406 diverted to DUB as I said earlier, aircraft has remained there. Last delta flight of the season and last flight on that type of aircraft.

Wind has since calmed significantly, and Shannon has accepted 6 diversions from Dublin.

In all it seems to be busier this month, a possible knock-on effect of the finished resurfaced runway?

Flew to Birmingham yesterday. The flight was delayed, apparently because the plane was coming from Edinburgh and they were delayed.

Does anyone know is this a regular occurrence?

The delay wasn't that significant, around (46mins minus taxi time). Those sort of delays wouldnt be that common, it's not a daily occurrence. Delays in excess of an hour would be unusual though.

All Shannon flights are on Cork based aircraft, so the aircraft actually came from Birmingham and went back out to Birmingham, however the delays were slowly accumulated all day, possibly due to semi-strong winds and occasional low vis at Cork and Shannon.

Thanks for the reply. That delay affects catching the right train after arrival. Its small, but painful.

Three Omni aircraft parked at the terminal yesterday, interesting to see that two of them had their baggage / cargo holds opened.

The 777s are to become a regular as Omni left Frankfurt HHN. Miami and Sun Country have also returned

Why is that interesting? It happens with 99% of the Omni flights that transit through.

Didn’t know that, thought the baggage / cargo hold was a very sensitive part of their aircraft to have open.

Probably just loading duty free rations for their trip to Kuwait.
