Anyone know if all Aer Lingus's 757's have been upgraded in Business Class? Aer Lingus agent couldn't give me a straight answer!!

Book seat 1 or 3 single seats on either side compared to 2 in other aisles. Traveled on one a few weeks back not a bad experience

EI-FNH has arrived, albeit in dark and gloomy weather conditions.

TheCockpitGuy · 02-10-2016 6:04pm

Any ideas of the loads on the BDL service?

shamrocka330 · 02-10-2016 8:24pm

Has the new A330 for Aer Lingus (EI-FNH) flown a revenue flight yet? Can't find anything online that suggests it has and I haven't seen it appear on Flightradar24?

If it hasn't flown yet does anybody know whereabouts it is?! I was at the airport twice over the weekend and didn't see it parked anyway.

Was in hanger Friday night if I can remember correctly and it's not needed to do scheduled ops yet and don't think it was due out over weekend.

Pretty good

Bussywussy · 02-10-2016 8:30pm

H6,its operating EI109 on the 6th but as per usual don't be suprised if its used before that.

Now it operating 584/585 to Malaga 2mro.

Jack1985 · 04-10-2016 11:12pm

EI-FNH off to Boston on the 139 after the return from Malaga tomorrow afternoon.

Tenger · 05-10-2016 11:46pm

Thanks for the info in post 1744 re MSN 1744 bussywussy.

Saw some photos yesterday of MSN 070 parked up in DUB;
the former EI-CRK, taking a break before continuing on to the breakers yard in the US.

If that was Dublin, those pallets would be gone at this time of year!

robyntmorton · 07-10-2016 10:46am

It's sad to see a photo of ORD like that when it is not exactly an old aircraft. There are many much older aircraft, like the ancient ex Ryanair 732's still happily converting fuel to noise in remote parts of the world.

All of this is in the name of progress though.

Why they remove the aerlingus logos

It's standard on any scrappage that company logos are removed/hidden so that potential customers don't get the wrong impression of the airline.

Short haul jets allegedly have heavier, stronger structure than long haul ones, to allow for higher cycles...so not surprising to see the short hauls outliving a medium/Long haul jet, noted for its fuel efficiency.

I'm sure they stripped all good stuff from it.

And weren't the early A330s built markedly differently to the current ones - wasn't there the story that an early EI A330 was in Toulouse for maintenance and all the airbus staff gathered round to see how things were done in the old days?

You can see someone has nabbed the cockpit... looks like all the good stuff is going to use alright

Omni air 767-300 in Dublin, looks like a fill in until EI-DUO is sorted.

It operated EI136 from BOS. As a rule these lay over at DUB to allow crew rest so I suspect it will operate a service westbound tomorrow.

Didn't see it in Dublin today, EI-FNH operated ei-120 this morning and encountered severe turbulence, quite a few passengers were ill, sure who needs Disney land

Was there much damage to the aircraft?

It's the high loader machine that caught fire.

Why would they fly her back to Dublin? If it's a repair job and she's flyable why not send her directly to Toulouse?

robyntmorton · 09-10-2016 6:57pm

I know I'd be reluctant to move her without knowing exactly what has happened to the frame. Over the Atlantic is not a good place to have a problem!

Chances are she'll be grounded for a couple more days yet while waiting for all the required checks and work to be done. Then, as said, it'll more than likely be back to Airbus for to be redone.

Pete2k · 09-10-2016 8:08pm

I know they towed it to a hangar at mco yesterday. The talk at the airport was dat it was going to be flown passengerless back to dublin but as ye said it may well b grounded n orlando for awhile.

adam88 · 09-10-2016 10:52pm

Was she a new aircraft
