      Conditions can vary vastly over a few kilometers, and my experience with Cork is that the airports weather is often quite different from the city.

      Where did you find out that it was the low cloud if you don't mind me asking, getting into airplane spotting and stuff :)

      Perhaps it is a positioning flight.

      Is that the first A350 to serve Dublin?

      I think Qatar sent a 350 on the first journey here

      Correct but this will be full time A350

      Is that based on the time it pushed back off stand and arrived on stand?

      If it’s FR24 times, they do not reflect the timetable as they quote take off and landing times.

      Airline timetables allow time for taxi to and from stand!

      Does anyone know what airline carrier livery (its currently parked in Dublin) has a white body and an orange tail, with light orange and blue writing on the tail?

      My eyesight cant make out the writing and havent got a camera that'll zoom enough to make it out!

      Likely C-FFPH of Sunwing, currently operating on behalf of TUI.

      Just experienced something really cool this morning. Was flying out of DUB to MAN in the first wave of departures this morning and we took off on RWY34 whilst an EI jet was taking off on 28.

      Gotta admit this was really cool and didn't know Dublin had the potential to do dual departure operations!

      WW625 BCN-KEF turned around off the coast of Mayo and diverted to Shannon, landing around 2am. No reason yet for diversion

      I'd say not every morning, I've done it a few times and its kinda cool, but AFAIK from hearing on here, there are a surprisingly rare set of circumstances where it can be done, not limited to other taxiing aircraft, flow into the UK and a whole lot else.

      I read elsewhere that it was due to weather in KEF. No other details.

      I was in Iceland recently and this comes as no surprise. There ain't no weather like Icelandic weather!

      METAR @ KEF at that time: BIKF 050100Z 05004KT 010V070 0200 R19/0500N FG VV001 05/05 Q1026

      No wonder there was a diversion as Keflavik is notorious for issues if a diversion is required due to the lack of suitable airfields.

      This left Sligo Airport after 3.30pm today , rare to see a plane like that around. Possibly coincides with the stories of Prince Harry being around Mayo?

      It was a Netjets operated plane anyway, it operated SXL-DUB a few weeks ago also. Someone in the region must have taken out a fractional ownership and is making use of Sligo Airport for his/her travels.

      That was EI-CJX you saw, positioned to Dublin as ABR752P. FR24 doesn't show that plane properly for some reason

      EI-LBR positioned in the opposite direction as ABR753P to join EI-LBT at Shannon
