Watching Lanzarote airport at the moment. RWY21 in use. Heavy southerly winds across the canaries today (Normal direction being northerly) causing a few problems. DE5694 went around a few minutes ago, 2 atr 72's then preceded to land successfully, followed by FR6626 going around a minute ago.

Wind Stats: 180 degrees 19kts.

RWY21: 16kt headwind, 9kt crosswind.

Update: FR6626 landed on the 2nd approach and DE5694 diverted to FUE.

It won't load for me for some reason but was it the cargo run?

My sister was on a Ryanair that went out just after it to Luton, it ran 10 minutes late according to FR24 but according to her they took off on time?

FR24 shows the airborne and landing times against the scheduled block times (when the aircraft moves from and stops moving at the gate) and is therefore always going to be incorrect. On time is when the aircraft pushes back from its parking stand. It could be anywhere between 5 - 30mins later, depending on the airport before it takes off.

Completely incorrect. Most of the time the Scheduled departure times of FR24 match the airport listing times. Certain limited cases can differ, but I've only seen around 2 of these exact cases over the years.

Check the Airport time listing as well January, see if the aircraft took off 10mins late or on time. 10mins is considered on time btw. Also could that person be getting confused because they landed on time?

Don't know what happened to my screen shot. Sorted now

The ryanair learjet is inbound Knock, assume coming to the aid of the aircraft doing Knock-Alicante as it seems to be snagged.

Previous stop was Athens. Just about to get airborne again.

I believe Miami Air did that flight yesterday

B763 from Qatar, just landed in SNN. It appears to have originated from Al Udeid Air Base, west of Doha. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Udeid_Air_Base

Sounds like a regular OMNI American troop charter flight. Regular visitor to SNN. They often come in around 12-1am.

These are the block times, that is what I said. On some occasions they do get them wrong too, I know because I've flown it!
The problem is that FR24s definition of 'ATD' when viewing any flight is airborne time which is not the same as the STD which is the scheduled time the aircraft will be off blocks. .

Fuel / customs stopover which all BA flights from London City to JFK do on a daily basis.

It's an A318 that fly's LCY-SNN-JFK 11ish times a week. The earlier flight clears US customs in SNN and lands as a domestic flight meaning no wait in immegration. It's all business class with 32 seats. It stops in SNN as the runway at London City Airport is too small to allow the A318 take off with enough fuel for New York. On the return it goes direct from JFK-LCY

Weird question but when taking off from LCY is that just enough fuel to SNN or when in SNN do they top up what they already have?

Just enough for Shannon + Required reserves.
