That’s what was happening in 2019 and early 2020... A321 NEO was coming from JFK, stopping in Shannon to drop off passengers and collect passengers and then fly to LHR.

Ah they were two seperate scheduled services from Shannon. The NEO only operated SNN/LHR & SNN/JFK for two weeks before COVID and they didnt even do LHR daily——LHR was operated by the NEO 3 weekly and rest was 320..SNN LHR started on the NEO on the 04.03.2020 and JFK stopped on the 18.03.2020. There was just one NEO in Shannon until Feb 2020 operating Boston.

End of 2019 —- people moved from the 757 to the 320 service to LHR. it Definitely wasnt LHR - JFK via Shannon.

Lufthansa Technik strategic review prompts worry for over 300 jobs in Shannon (Clare Echo)

Lufthansa Technik are carrying out a strategic review of its Shannon operations which is examining three options for its future in the Mid-West. The first option is to restructure its Irish operation, the second is to close down the plant entirely and the third is to sell the business.

Prior to COVID-19, over 500 persons were employed by Lufthansa Technik in Shannon. However the onset of the pandemic resulted in this figure dropping to in or around the 300 mark.

The Clare Echo understands that potential buyers have visited the site but this remains at a commercially sensitive stage. A decision on Lufthansa Technik’s future is to be made known in the first half of July.

Combined sales of €65m in 2020 were recorded by the German firm’s Shannon business, this was a 28 percent drop on the €90m in sales a year previously.

Never occured, perhaps you're mixing this up with the cancelled BA1/BA3 flights? The all business class British Airways A318 that used to fly from London City airport to Shannon and then onto JFK?

That never dropped or collected passengers either though. Was just a tech and pre clearance stop.

Top photos are the wrong facility, that's Lufthansa Technik Turbine Shannon. They specialise in engine components repair and overhaul. The only thing they have in common with Shannon aerospace is the same owners, LHT in Hamburg. LHT also recently opened a on wing engine support company based in Dublin, but have a few employees based in Shannon. It's a small company at the moment.
The speculation purely surrounds Shannon aerospace only. And my understanding is that there isn't a lot the government can do to help, the decision will be made at board level in Hamburg.

I assume these are all pretty much empty and will continue to be until mid July, but it's good to see flights back.

Okay, at least something to hope for here.

I suppose that Transitions Centre would be affected too ?

Lufthansa Technik Shannon is on the road to establishing itself as a center of excellence for the conclusion of aircraft lease projects and the associated transitions.

This would also be affected Lufthansa Technik Shannon Aviation Training Academy ?

Lufthansa Technik Shannon has an EASA Part 147 approved Maintenance Training Department on site. The Aviation Services Training Department is one of the most experienced and respected in the industry, providing Basic Training, Type Training and EASA Part 145 Mandatory Continuation Training in addition to design and deliver a variety of training products and services for the marketplace.

Err... sorry. I was on several of the flights. In fact I was on the very first one as I got upgraded to a business class seat.

Yep I think you'd be correct in those assumptions. It's turning into a bit of a disaster really. For example, all Irish LH operations are under one pension fund, so that's implicated in this as well. Don't be surprised if big wigs in Germany decide to pull ALL operations here in Ireland. This is about saving money to position themselves as a world leader to dominate when the pandemic is broadly over and planes need repairs again. Employees are just numbers.

You got SNN-LHR. That flight had zero to do with the incoming JFK other than it used the same aircraft.

Sheesh... So using the same aircraft is irrelevant? I give up, some people would argue with their shadow.

It's a poorly worded post that creates an impression of a resurrected version of the hated Shannon stopover.

Airplane arrives from point A. Drops passenger's.
Aircraft then flies to point B.

Nah, there is a mega hate by some people over the historical Shannon stopover.

Remember Dublin is a "hub" .

Flight diverts to Shannon with ill passenger (Clare Herald)

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight KL-758 was travelling from Panama City, Panama to Amsterdam in The Netherlands when the aircraft was diverted to Shannon Airport.

The crew of the Boeing 777-200(ER) jet declared a medical emergency while they were about an hour west of Shannon.
