Unfortunately the people on EI584 will not be going to Malaga this time. They are about to land back in Dublin after some sightseeing along the south coast.
Anyone any idea what the problem was?
I was on the flight. Comms trouble. One of the backup radios failed. Unable to repair it and no spare aircraft available. Passengers deplaned into terminal building. Had to wait until an EI flight arrived from Manchester and pax swapped on to that aircraft. Original ETA in Malaga was 15.50. Finally arrived at 20.25. Aer Lingus offered complimentary tea/coffee on the replacement flight.

He should have done a few Z's in the sky over Wexford while the FO completed the online training module. That would have had you all guessing for at least 2 days. 😉
I do find it somewhat amusing that the poster who posted that is called "Be right back" !
Nice spot! And the plane was!😀
The noise is amazing
Managed to get a glimpse of her through the clouds.Had to run out back when I heard that sound.
We’ll get back out there’s another one
Ei105 returning to Dublin airport. Currently holding over North midlands
Over an hour later he's still holding over Cavan.
Burning off fuel and running checklists, I presume?
Still circling
Cleared to approach 10R
Equipment was offered by ATC, but they declined it.
What happened on that?
Absolutely vile delay on FR3740 from Edinburgh to Cork yesterday. Was due to leave Edinburgh at 840pm, ended up leaving at 159am and landing at 301am. Could you get any worse than that?
Tonight’s EI725 LHR-ORK took a route via Manchester and Liverpool instead of the direct route via South Wales and Strumble Head. Anyone know why?
Most likely that the departure was easterly, and threading a westbound departure up to cruise height and then back down again through all the east bound descending arrivals would have been a challenge, so the simplest answer is to route over Dublin, along with most of the other departures from that area.
There was some serious weather across the south of the UK last night. Lots of diversions around Gatwick due to it. The route that flew last night avoided it
Just happened to look up in the sky here , in South east, just saw a plane/jet/aircraft flying with no contrail?
It seemed to be very high , and going in a NNe direction ?
I checked up on flight radar straight away but there was nothing going that direction that i could find ??
A) Why no contrail?
b) why not on fr?
Would that be usual?
I can't answer the first question but for the second for whatever reason Flight Radar filters some flights so you can't see them I believe this mainly applies to private aircraft and military. Thankfully there is an alternative service that doesn't filter any aircraft or so they claim.
Probably due to atmospheric layering - some layers are warmer than others and have a higher capacity for vapour and hence you don't get contrails as much in summer skies.
Conspiracy Theories answer: They weren't spraying at the time.
And no sound due to the altitude ?
"Conspiracy Theories answer: They weren't spraying at the time." 😏
Ahh.
Pity i didnt try that ......🙄
I am tracking a Hungarian airforce Dassault Falcon 7X at 40000 heading west towards Rosslare.
It's not on FR, a glitch on my ADSB? or what's he up to?
His previous trip was from Teterboro in NYC, so just doing general repatriations or similar. Not a warplane as it used Irish airspace.
How do you find out who owns the private jets etc?
Is there a way even ?
You can get a clue by Googling the tail number. This one here, off Halifax just now, out of Porto, is the Glazers.
Most or many US planes are owned by trustee accounts for a whole swathe of reasons.
And then you have private equity firms... 😫
