It’s an A330 in the original livery. See the winglets.

That would put it between 1994 - 1996?

LH976 from Frankfurt to Dublin https://fr24.com/DLH976/23deada3

Plenty of planes circling around waiting to land in Dublin. I only look at flight radar the odd time out of curiosity but that Frankfurt to Dublin flight had an odd flight path. Most circle around probably on auto pilot in nice overlapping circles.

Looks like he’s off to Manchester now. Missed approaches on 16 and 28.

Diverted to Birmingham.

EI151 gone around runway 16 - now on second approach.

Edit: Down safely.

PukkaStukka · 15-02-2020 12:08PM

Am up near RWY16 at the mo. Some incredible crosswind approaches being flown and remarkably few go-arounds given the conditions

Wind is similar to last Saturday, i.e. 200 to 210 degrees, typically 25 gusting to 38 knots.

Thought Luton was looking inactive on FR24 so checked website. easyJet has cancelled virtually everything from about 13.30 but Wizz and FR flights not so - yet.

Edit: easyJet has also cancelled everything at Bristol but all the other airlines flying.

Yup, easyJet really heavy with the cancellations, very strange.

It was interesting that the Delta flight to JFK had to use runway 28 for departure causing a significant delay yet the Aer Lingus going to San Francisco took off from 16 around the same time. Both using the A333. Very low load factor on Aer Lingus perhaps?

JCX BXC · 15-02-2020 03:09PM

FR9431 (CIA-DUB) diverting to Shannon.

Wind now out of limits for landing Ryanair aircraft seemingly, current wind 210° 27kts gusting 45kts.

PukkaStukka · 15-02-2020 03:35PM

Dublin ops have switched to RWY 28

Edit: serious amount of holding going on too

JCX BXC · 15-02-2020 03:42PM

Doesn't help that the TAF gives the wind as from 200° until 4pm, switching to 230° at 5pm.

The wind went from 200° at 2pm to 250° about 20 minutes later once the squall passed through.

Today’s SFO was operated by GCF which is a 242T variant of the 330. Maybe that was a factor?!?

What are the chances of tomorrows Ryanair flights being able to land in Kerry with Storm Dennis?

Not sure what this has to do with FR24 but here is a forecast:

Anyone explain this?

FR126 DUB-Gatwick this evening aborted two landings at Gatwick and diverted to Manchester (EI-EKE).

Passengers already at the Gatwick gate for the return FR127 to DUB at 19.00 were informed of the diversion to MAN and then ushered back to the main waiting lounge and the latest is a 21.30 departure and the gate is now open. DUB arrivals show 23.00 and FR website shows DUB arrival at 22.55.

However, according to Flightradar FR127 (EI-DAO)departed Gatwick at 20.24 and is currently over Wales.

Error on the flightradar website. The flight due into Dublin in the next few minutes is the FR143. It looks like Flightradar just picked this up incorrectly.

Also, the next inbound Ryanair from Dublin to Gatwick (FR118) has already done a go-around and some holding. I think thats due to be the FR119, hopefully no further delays and everyone gets where they should be, safely.

EchoIndia · 15-02-2020 10:32PM

EIN1YG (EI177) A320 LHR-DUB reported severe icing just now over the Irish Sea on way into Dublin.

irishbloke77 · 15-02-2020 10:38PM

Ryanair FR118 Dublin to Gatwick diverting somewhere towards the North. Fair dues, they tried for ages, just didnt work out this time though.

Mebuntu · 15-02-2020 10:39PM

The (real) FR127 pax were sent to the gate again for a 22.00 departure. They're now being sent back to the lounge again. That 118 is now diverting somewhere.

I think the plane for the (real) FR127 passengers is on its way back to you. Its passing Birmingham now on its way back down from Manchester. Hopefully ye'll be away soon.

I'm not there myself. Thanks. Have passed on your info to friends who are there.

Just watching LGW right now, a Ryanair that I assume diverted to MAN earlier attempted to return to a LGW, just went around there on finals.

Looks like it's heading back to Dublin. Those poor passengers! Or are they on a bus from Manchester to London?

Two other BA flights struggling to get down at LGW, must be bad there...

No idea! Check out G-MIDO, a BA flight from TFS-LGW, went around in LGW, then diverted to BHX, went around there too! Now going for MAN by the looks of it !!

16-02-2020 09:25PM

P-3 Orion passing over the west - it was noisy.

Landing at Shannon now.

icom · 17-02-2020 12:30AM

FR7125 /RYR8DN and FR6394 /RYR7ZC missed approach, both reported wind shear at 200 feet.

Edit: FR7125 /RYR8DN landed safely

Edit: FR6394 /RYR7ZC landed

17-02-2020 08:43AM
