It's a scheduled flight.

It is only once a week for the summer. http://www.s7.ru/info/timetable-flights.dot?from=DME&to=DUB

Lufthansa will be operating a 777-F aircraft into Shannon tomorrow evening. Landing scheduled for 19:45 from Frankfurt and leaving for JFK at 21:30.

How come?

Fills up the departures list nice and well though.
27 departures from Shannon tomorrow according to FR24.

When searching for holidays this year, I found Tunisia dirt cheap each time, often coming in at €300pp Inc flights, bags, transfers, and good accomidation.

Off topic, but do you ever think how they can manage that price? Almost all the hotels in Tunisia are French owned. Salaries are v low. The unfortunate
events of Friday are motivated by frustration, incited by Isis. I have worked there and it is a very difficult situation, there are a lot of well educated people who cannot get a job.
Just for info.

Eh .... Strange question but how would anyone know or does anybody here know what plane Taylor Swift is coming in on today?

I'd put my money on N898TS, Falcon 900B. No idea if it's blocked

Seems to be blocked on FR24 but last movement was on the 25th, landing somewhere in south-east England ( possibly Luton ).

When is it due in?

She's always here, bugging me for a date :rolleyes: No seriously it's probably LTN - when it had a bomb scare that was the only flight allowed out :cool:

Why would it overfly several airports ?

Depends on the 7700. Fuel load - weight - many planes can't dump fuel and have to burn it off, so have to fly longer to lower its weight to land safely.

Could be a burning smell for example - after performing a full check list, it could be down to an electronic fault.
Either way, too risky to continue, but not critical enough to land asap.

Also, the pilots could know what the problem is and would fly back to the original airport where they have services, engineers and parts to replace the fault as soon as possible.

We see it as a travel service, airlines see it as a money-making business...

An EI A320 is positioning to SNN as EI990. Training? Paint?

Is it going back to DUB now? Interesting route, not even touching down, and on a Sunday...

2 x EI A320's just departed LGW for DUB within 8 minutes of each other. The first one is 2+ hours late and the following one is 4+ hours late. Wonder what happened there?

Power outage affecting numerous flights at London-Gatwick's South Terminal.

Tks. Not by any means the first time that's happened at LGW. Must have no standby power.
