EI4971 going around (Poor children back from SANTA!) Wind now 220 degrees 34knots max 46knots.

FR673 landed, thought the wind was outside their limits?

Nice to see the children have landed!

Why not divert to Shannon instead?!

Crews nominate their preferred alternates on takeoff, based on several things including weather conditions. This crew obliviously felt Kerry was a good alternate

or even waterford would have been a good choice would it not?

The wind at Waterford is not good atm (28kts G38kts) and there is no stobart operations to Waterford. It's also possible WAT wouldn't have the equipment to handle an ATR76!

Kerry is the biggest airport of all the regionals with the longest runway (excluding Knock).

I would imagine the stobart will overnight in Kerry and operate the morning flight to Dublin, this evenings Dublin to kerry flight was cancelled so this one will operate the morning sector now I'd say.

Did stk58L just come down from Belfast, have a look, only to about turn and head back?

I doubt it, considering there hasnt been a diversion to Belfast today nor do they fly there

Auto correct of Freudian slip? :-)

Anyway, I'm passing Dublin Airport in about half an hour. Think I might just switch on Live ATC and pull up for a look.

Haha didn't even notice Have made some horrific mistakes on here courtesy of my phones auto-correct!

Winds at Dublin still pretty strong, would be fun to look at all the wobbles.

I'm flying Dublin to London tomorrow AM, any danger of it being delayed?

Winds to have died down, so no weather delays likely.

Am at Dublin Airport RWY 16 at the mo. Conditions are vile. EI3275 went around several miles out and was wise to do so. Rain is now very heavy and winds very gusty.

Changing to RW28 shortly

LGW to IOM turning back?>?!

Edit: looking like a hold (bit premature when she hasn't done even one loop yet!).

Bad weather in the Faroe Islands? What would be their alternate?
