Shannon Airport Thread [Mod Warning in First Post]

Clareman

This thread is to discuss all things Shannon Airport related.

Warning, any back biting, regional nonsense, trolling, baiting or back seat modding will lead to bans.

It's also important to remember than that this thread is in a regional forum, not the Aviation forum, if you want to get into details on Aviation, go to that forum. Finally, this is the Clare forum, there will be a bias towards Clare in here, so expect folk to want to defend their county .

Wonder why there was a big difference between 2017 and 2016 in New York's April figures

Probably to do with Easter being in March in 2016 and in April in 2017.

Quote from PPrune user AerRyan - "Sadly, latest info is that the announcement is delayed for a day or two. Should hear by the middle of the week."

Any more news on Air Canada?

If there is, It'll be posted here very quickly.

I don't think we'll hear of it today tbh, getting very late.

So no real impact of the B767 loss on BOS and a LF of 95.7%!

Impressive, most TATL has been doing very well (with the exception of EWR, which has its numbers in free fall lately, wonder why?)

The passenger response to the B767 was very poor, was really disliked. Maybe the return of the 757 contributed to pax willing to spend more to get back on the service?

Also, very promising to see Chicago growing, I'd have fears for that route in the future as 757's become rarer and rarer, however if growth like that was to continue it would improve hopes for the route.

The CSO doesn’t include the transit passengers.

Shannon’s second quarter was much the same as last year.

2017-Q2: 493,800 Passengers
2016-Q2: 493,937 Passengers

It still highlights a loss in pax being generated at the airport and the failure to maintain routes. Transit numbers don't affect this.

any announcement yet on the canadian route?

Not yet, however they are 5 hours behind in Toronto, and as much as 8 hours behind in Vancouver, so it's not too late yet. Hopefully the routes announced today.

Crosswind testing afaik.

Not in the airport today but it was a joy to see an A350 -1000 doing circuits today from a distance ..... flying in the Airbus markings so it may have been an
AB evaluation aircraft ...... good of them to spend some time in Shannon .....

Airport down 5.5% between April and June. Very disappointing decrease. Neil Pakey's short term explosion growth is quickly dissipating.

Hopefully if this Canadian route is announced it may bring a good few passengers next summer. This winter is looking bleak with UA gone.

Tweet from Canadian ambassador to Ireland Kevin Vickers - "Big things continue to happen between Ireland and Canada. Can't wait for tomorrow's announcements". Could have something to do with Air Canada

Just read PPRuNe and apparently Air Canada Rouge will be announcing a route to Toronto (YYZ) tomorrow, and will be operated by a 767-300.

ALC also going from 3pw to 2pw

That's wrong, the base frequency for Alicante was always 2pw.

Extra seasonal frequencies won't be added until around November/December, at which point you'll see routes like Malaga, Majorca and Alicante gaining a rotation or two for the peak months.

Just had a quick browse on PPRuNe, and there's word of Air Canada Rouge announcing a Canadian route next week, not sure how reliable that is.

Munster wore the new kit at the weekend. Airport logo right across the back of the shorts. Quite prominent.

Yep, "bottoms up" for Shannon everytime the Munster scrum or maul shoves for the try line.

Jet diverts to Shannon with fuel issues (Clare Herald)

A transatlantic jet has diverted to Shannon Airport this evening after the crew reported an issue with their fuel.

American Airlines flight AA-142 was travelling from New York to London Heathrow and was almost five hours into its journey when the crew reported an anomaly with the jets fuel readings.

The flight had about 90 minutes to run to London when the crew opted to divert and land at
Shannon Airport. There were 203 passengers and crew on board.

Saw S18 Map from Berlin and I think SNN wasn't listed.

Did it show Kerry continuing the service into S18???
