A lot of Scandinavian airlines do that when heading to the Canaries, either taking advantage of winds (they are currently stiff northerly tailwinds over the eastern Atlantic) or avoiding certain FIRs (Brest has had delays of late with the ERATO implementation)

What antennas are people talking about? I don't seem to have them on my screen.

I notice that if you are on Premium then there is an option to show or hide VORs and NDBs. Maybe that's the problem?

Beacons.

Take a look at Dublin, what's on the ground to you currently?

See the 2 unknowns? They're beacons and have been constantly on the ground in DUB for months now. Just complete clutter.

Its too often that you can't hear a sound on the Cork feed. Anyone knows who runs it? Very unreliable lately.

Ah yeah, I think I've seen them before but never really gave them any notice!

Had 8 ground vehicles on the ground the other night at 4am, many of them Beacons.

If you have an aircraft on approach, you have to zoom right in to select it due to the beacons always being selected. Can get annoying.

Yes, I had deselected Ground Vehicles Visible for that reason but now you mention it there still is some clutter

Now en route DUB to (I expect) Liege. Aircraft is OY-JTM B734F.

I have a great new issue on the FR24 app. All aircraft have just disappeared. Force closed the app, nothing. Rebooted the phone, went into the app, they returned for 5 seconds and disappeared again.

Anyone else having this issue?

Same issue here and I'm using the https://www.flightradar24.com/53.43,-6.26/12 website.

Trebor176

Yes, not working on the laptop. I discovered this Twitter post, though, from 1 hour ago: Swiss Air is due to take delivery of its first Boeing 777. There's a link to FR24 tracking its progress, which is useless, due to the issues with the site at present.

Now all BA LHR-DUB flights cancelled up to 13.00. What are they up to?

Operating out of LHR, they're a bit more constrained with their flexibility and disruption recovery, hence you sometimes say what appear to be 'drastic' measures despite the situation calming.
