Ryanair aircraft flight details

    I am off to Glasgow Airport tonight to pick up my wife who is coming in from Dublin on Ryanair. I normally track the incoming flight into Dublin if I have the detail. Looking at FR5776 on flightradar it shows that the aircraft doing this flight last Monday (EI-FIV) flew in to Dublin from Lisbon. I am working on the assumption that todays flight is the same for the aircraft which seems to show that the incoming Lisbon flight has yet to take off and is over an hour delayed. The Ryanair website and the Dublin Airport departures website still shows the Glasgow flight as 'on time' which is unlikely if it is the same aircraft

    Is there any way to confirm this?

    EI-EFI is scheduled to fly that plane today according to flightradar and you're right, it hasn't left Lisbon yet.

    Thanks, just seen that. I never understand why the Ryanair website and Dublin Airport website do not show the reality rather than 'on time'

    Flightradar is still showing the Lisbon flight as 'on-time' too even though it hasn't left yet.

    It's left now anyway, here's
    hoping the knock on effect isn't too bad.

    Just noticed EI-EFI left Dublin over an hour late on its first flight this morning so never really had time to make up

    I think this is a combination of lack of up to date IT/ personal updating the systems and allowing for changes. 
    I once almost missed a flight due to this type of assumption, was tracking a plane I knew would ordinarily operate my flight (which was delayed) and Ryanair in the mean time called out and standby crew and also had a standby aircraft, I almost missed the flight as I was sitting chilling not expecting boarding for another 40 mins when it suddenly said last call.

    Picked her up at arrivals at 22.40 after the flight landed at 22:15. The stupid bus system in operation at Glasgow for CTA passengers is for another thread

    Thanks again
