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 .

Does anyone know why the CSO 2nd Quarter figures are higher than the sum of the monthly CSO figures for April, May and June?

Two medical diversions to Shannon this week.

Jet diverts to Shannon with medical emergency (Clare Herald)

A U.S. bound flight had to turn back over the Atlantic and divert to Shannon Airport this evening so the crew could seek medical attention for an ill passenger.

British Airways flight BA-209 was travelling from London’s Heathrow airport to Miami, Florida at the time. The flight departed Heathrow at around 2.45pm and was about three hours into its journey when the crew made a U-turn over the Atlantic.

On Tuesday an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Gran Canaria diverted to Shannon.

University of Limerick graduate launches new fuel efficient jet (Limerick Leader)

Ennis native John Slattery was previously awarded an MBA from the University of Limerick and remains active at UL as an adjunct professor.

Although he lives in Brazil, he still owns a home in Ennis and says he’s proud of his connections with UL.

Ahead of the Shannon International Leasing Conference, MBA students at the Kemmy Business School as well as students of Aeronautical Engineering at UL were also given the opportunity to experience the E195-E2.

Addressing the students, John Slattery said there are extraordinary opportunities in the commercial aviation sector at present but that climate change and embracing the planet are significant challenges.

They were over to sell planes to lessors nothing to do with the Shannon group

Of course selling his company planes would be his main task, but doing so as part of the Shannon International Leasing Conference is a great coup for Shannon's IASC cluster.

I would see it as a networking success as he was invited to a Shannon Chamber Lunch last January which was sponsored by the Shannon Group.

Jet diverts to Shannon after suffering hydraulic failure over Atlantic (Irish Examiner)

A transatlantic jet was forced to divert to Shannon Airport this morning after suffering a hydraulic system leak and failure off the Scottish coast.

Atlas Air flight ‘Giant’ 8327 was en route from Frankfurt Hahn airport to Portsmouth, New Hampshire in the U.S.

Shortly before 10.00am, when the Boeing 767-300(ER) jet was about 800km northwest of Donegal, the crew reported they were experiencing mechanical issues.

Atlas Air is a New York based cargo and passenger charter airline that also provides services to the U.S. military flying troops around the world.

Clare man brings Embraer’s newest jet to Shannon (Clare Herald)

Clare man John Slattery, who is President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, had brought his company’s largest ever aircraft to Shannon to meet potential customers.

The jet is visiting Shannon as part of Shannon International Leasing Conference 2019 (https://silc.ie/) so it can be closely inspected by the aircraft leasing community.

Sponsored by a number of Shannon based aviation service companies, some 200 delegates from across Ireland, the UK and Europe and as far afield as Brazil, gathered today to hear from speakers such as Paul Everitt, Chairman of Farnborough International and CEO of ADS Group – the trade organisation representing the aerospace, defence, security and space industries in the United Kingdom; Brett Leslie from leading international deluxe leisure and corporate travel agency Frosch CTM and Clare native and President & CEO of Brazilian aerospace conglomerate Embraer Commercial Aviation John Slattery.

“Every time an aircraft is transitioned, it needs to be painted, needs maintenance and repair, components overhauled. A globally recognised expertise has emerged at Shannon over the decades so we are one of the top hubs internationally for this activity. This means we have a huge opportunity to grow business and jobs here at Shannon as aircraft numbers grow. Our role in Shannon IASC is to help drive that.”

This year alone we have seen 15 new indigenous and overseas aviation businesses locate in Shannon.

Well done John Slattery. Hasn't forgotten where he comes from.
