My wind stats show a 10kt wind at Dublin? 3kt headwind with a 9kt crosswind.

Also I don't FR, I'm trying to get work done and of course this happens ah well I won't complain

EI423 off to Belfast.
You'd wonder why they use BFS considering they tried to sue EI.

No one is making an approach, what's going on?

Mature business? :P

Seems you were bang on about the wind. Whatever runway direction they choose, there's a risk of a certain kind of wind getting to them. Someone with 10 mins holding fuel left just then.

They're trying to work out which runway / runway direction has the least risk of wind causing issues but all of them do at this moment they're just going to go for one at a time Mad stuff

Could anyone take a screenshot of the full flight path that EI3390 (Aer Lingus Regional/Stobart Air) takes tomorrow. It takes off at 6:15, lands 07:30. I'm gonna be on that flight!

Squawking 7700 over France and descending fairly quick.

Aer Lingus ‏@AerLingus
@BelfastAirport Keep up the great work guys! 😊



Yeah they're smiling cos they won!

fr336

I doubt either the social media team of Aer Lingus nor BFS are fussed about a law suite :P

Ha!

Anyway it was probably NATS ( radar & tower ) and Swissport that actually did the good work...

Belfast International's main work seems to involve running car parks.

It should post a link on your Twitter feed and you can go from there. No pressure of course

It seemed to just work once I went through it but I can understand technology doesn't always act as intended.
