Perhaps the reason they didn't use 28R for landing is the same one given for not operating dual runway operations during reduced visibility - lack of familiarity.
No, I don’t think it has either. Planning dictates that 28L shall be preferred for landings and 28 R for departures in normal circumstances.
Taken from daa’s website “Option 7B is a preferred runway concept, which was agreed as part of the 2007 runway planning permission to lessen the impact of aircraft noise on local communities.
Mode of operation 7B provides that:
I would think the planning therefore allows for the switch in cases like today so I’m not sure what the actual reason is that they don’t and instead leave aircraft circling over the Irish Sea, resulting in one diversion to Cork this evening.
Has Dublin ever operated on that basis since the parallel runway was opened? I don't think it has.
Was wondering what that drone noise was.. An12B flew overhead at FL25.

1 tyre burst on landing , the other is nearly off as well.
Passengers being taken off and bussed to the terminal.
ATC have a landing rate restriction currently in place
Appears the aircraft has a flat tyre(s)
still don’t understand why they don’t switch the arrivals to 28R and departures to 28L in cases like this. A large number holding for 28L currently
Just watched 3 aircraft backtracking simultaneously on 28L and a Ryanair from Nice stationary on the taxiway. Quite a few aircraft holding. I don't know how long the Ryanair has been stuck there. At least it got clear of the exits so others can turn at the end of the rwy.
Edit: Looks like ATC is bringing in 3 at a time and queueing them up at the western end of the taxiway before having them backtrack together, although some are managing to exit as S4(?) and avoid the issue.
There's a helicopter buzzing around Dublin at the moment that isn't tracker on Flightradar 24. Sounds like it is small and has a fenestron. I've hear it a few times over the last month.
Is this a Garda helicopter? It isn't as loud as one of the other ones, that can be rather piercing in an urban area due to the sound reflecting.
Pretty sure it was a turboprop... was on same flight path as the Jordanian Falcons took on Friday I think. Never seen regular flights take that path.
I had a quick scan of flight radar afterwards…wonder if it might have been the Beech H18.
Sure it wasn't EI348?
I think one of the display planes just flew over Raheny … loud engine roar. Any ideas which one?
Not aircraft related.
East coast has seen alot of thunderstorms in the last day or 2. There was a significant ground stop at JFK yesterday evening due to thunderstorms with multiple cancellations and diversions
Thats the same Aircraft that diverted back to Dublin earlier in the week.
EI107 diverted to Boston and is still on a taxiway as I type this, nearly eleven hours after takeoff.
That flew low right over Kilkenny this morning I heard it and looked it up on flight radar - thought it was a bit odd for the time and direction
I was just wondering as was due to be on the flight this morning but had to cancel at weekend due to a family member been sick in hospital.
Captain reported a noticeable vibration after departure along with technical issues with the flight controls that were causing oscillation in the cabin.
Returned to stand in DUB safely.
Flight is due to leave DUB again at 2pm
Any Idea why the Aer lingus to Faro from Dublin diverted back to Dublin this morning.
Probably a combination.
The intent is for a safe landing. Perhaps easier/simpler to achieve in Shannon with the longer runway and less traffic on the ground and in the air.
Aer Lingus know that aircraft isnt going anywhere afterwards, they have engineering in place in Shannon. The Captain knows he has fuel for either airport. ATC would prefer to risk disruption in the quieter airport.
Id imagine it was that Captain who decided based on the circumstances. As well as impacting on steering and requiring a tow off the runway, chances are with hydraulic issues that the aircraft would also have impaired braking, implying the need for a longer runway. There have been emergency landings in Dublin previously which took a runway out of action and forced operations to switch to another.
Who makes that decision?
Captain, Aer Lingus, DAA ?
Needed to be towed from the runway so was sent to Shannon due to runway length and so as not to block up the runway in Dublin for an extended period
From Twitter
"On arrival in Shannon, they were met be Shannon Airport Fire Service. The aircraft needed to be towed off the runway due to the Hydraulic failure."
Maybe engineering crew availability in Shannon over Dublin?
Anyone know why EI401 from Rome diverted to Shannon? Didn't even look to make an approach to DUB
the one guy who left his transponder on in Orly 😳
Bit of an ol' exclusion zone thrown up there around Paris this evening. Must be something on.
The two jets near the city are Air Force tankers. Safe to assume they're not alone up there.
2014 DE HAVILLAND DHC-6 Twin Otter up now from Casement https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=c07d29
Some great sights of it flying low over Firhouse
Just took off out of Baldonnel again there. Nice sound to it.
