I was flicking through wikipedia (not the most reliable I know) and I noticed that stobart air have 1 atr 42-600 on order to replace the 2 42-300's. Is there going to be a upguage on one of the pso routes?

Look, I know Shannon is in the sticks, but that’s taking it a bit far!!

I have heard that Malaga and Faro out of Belfast will be operated on an ASL Ireland 737 during summer, on behalf of Aer Lingus. Any hearing on this?

Yeah that was mentioned a few weeks back alright, but there’s a similar rumour every year about hire-ins and leases for summer so who knows!
If it’s true it will be interesting to see what they do with the additional a320s which I assume will return to be based in DUB

I have and they’re certain. I note you haven’t suggested an alternate aircraft if you are that sure.

Help me out here - when do you think this aircraft went into the grass? Certainly no recent tech log entry, so that’s quite an assertion to make!

I’m told it was while it was being towed into a hangar. I can only go on what I’m told and if you are in a better position to know then that is fine I’ll take your word for it.

Yes Im sure management trawl this and other social media outlets for rumoured incidents such as what is been mentioned above :cool:
Sure anyway there is enough bods around the airfield with camera phones to capture the moment and post it up for all to see. Remember the dinging of the hangar door in DUB

Candamir

Management, colleagues, media etc etc. Don’t be so surprised.

The aircraft wasn’t taxied anywhere in Shannon - it would have been towed, so I’d take that report with a large pinch of salt. I’ll keave it there as these kinds of rumours could potentially cause someone a lot of hassle.

When the aircraft was being towed to the hangar in SNN two of the four wheels on the left handside entered a grass area at the side of the taxiway.

Came back in service, arrived 0930

Now appears to be enroute to Bordeaux, curiously using a extra flight code of 2504 instead of the usual positioning 99x

I have actually seen that flight number used before for maintainance and delivery flights. I think 1 of the last 2 A330s was delivered as EI2503.

it was at JFK yesterday, and was EI2108 returning to Dub arriving today at 12.30pm. it was late getting to gate 11 in JFK as Ei108 was late leaving Gate 11 at T5 JFK.

I must say the seats are conformable.
