Shannon Airport Thread [Mod Warning in First Post]

Clareman

This thread is to discuss all things Shannon Airport related.

Warning, any back biting, regional nonsense, trolling, baiting or back seat modding will lead to bans.

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 .

This video shows EI-DVM (Retro Livery) in the background and the Air China 747 landing. Intresting watch.

Nope not this one anyway it positioned to ORK last week from Dubs for the summer months only!

I'd say it'll be put back in Dub through a quick switch at Heathrow.

Chinese Premier arriving for two-day visit (RTE)

The Chinese Premier arrives in Ireland today for a two-day visit, during which he will hold talks with Taoiseach Enda Kenny and a number of Government ministers.

The visit of Li Keqiang, follows the lifting of a ban on Irish beef by the Chinese authorities earlier this year.

China is now the second biggest destination for Irish food exports after the EU, and this visit will highlight the importance of that market for producers here.

Premier Li will be accompanied on his trip by a number of his ministers.

After their arrival at Shannon Airport this afternoon, they will travel to a farm in Co Galway where they will view herds and learn about approaches to crop cultivation.

From there, the Chinese party will move to Ashford Castle, where a bilateral meeting will take place with several Government ministers.

***********************************************************

Great export potential there for air cargo at Shannon.

It will certainly have to be swapped out for maintenance at some stage

EI-DVM, the Retro Livery plane inbound to Shannon from Malaga. ETA: 13:20 and will depart again at 14:00.

If anyone is around its a very rare treat, as Shannon has only 5 weekly A320 services during the Peak summer season so its rare to get the planes with the special liveries.

Why are they blocked?

All fleet blocked by default now due to the amount of troop flights they do.

From what I heard it won't be completely painted. It will have white EI titles with the tail possibly painted.

Also, it may not show up on FR24 due to all of the Omni fleet being blocked. The speed and altitude will be shown, but not flight number, destination and reg.

Will there ever be a flight from shannon to glasgow/edinburgh again!? Jaysus. These bus journeys from dub to the whest are a pain in the arse!

I'd say our best chance is of IAG take over EI.
After that you'd be looking at either a long wait from EI, Ryanair or Flybe.

Clare prepares to welcome Royal couple (Clare Herald)

Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall are due to land in Shannon Airport on Tuesday before travelling to the Burren, a journey the Prince – a keen botanist – had originally planned to make in 2002 but was forced to cancel following the death of his aunt Princess Margaret.

The Royal couple will later depart The Burren for Galway where they will visit NUI Galway.

University President, Dr Jim Browne, has heralded next week’s royal visit as an “an important milestone in this University’s proud 170 year-old history”.

************************************************************

Needless to say that security will be tight in Shannon on Tuesday.

Nice opportunity to market the West of Ireland in the UK.

When is United back on Chicago?

Around the 23rd I think.

Zurich resumes today on an F100, Malaga resumes tomorrow, Turkey starts next week and Chicago resumes next week. Finally Birmingham starts in a month on the 18th of June.

what are the chances of stobart/anyone putting on a bristol flight?
i know no one knows the answer, but is it any way likely? ye know the ins and outs more than me:D

IMO its impossible until IAG takes over. The route probably wouldnt make as much money as other possible routes on a daily ATR72 and stobart are using their ATR42's to the Max so until then it probably won't return.

Maybe Flybe, but after that its very limited.

First priority is for a Scottish route.
