    The owners want them on "home" soil, as there are still many maintenance issues that require regular attention even if the airframe is not being used productively by an operator, and they are probably getting very good parking prices from Shannon.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    EI381 from LHR seems to have got in ok just now....

    ...and LH968, an Embraer ER, has gone around for another approach immediately after the EI A320 landed.

    No way would they use Cork unless it was a major uncontrollable fire onboard.

    Corks runways are so short, be a problem getting a 767 out of there, sure Norwegian had problems with a 737!

    Best stick to an airport designed for onboard situations instead of a regional type airport

    A lot of middle eastern based BBJ’s trade extra fuel capacity for baggage space, so they don’t have the legs that you would expect them to have.
