    That Turkish 777 has skipped SNN. How reliable is ADSB when it comes to destination?

    777s usually go direct but when the same flight is operated by a 747 it stops in Shannon to refuel

    It’s FR24 usually that predicts the destination based on the previous destination of a flight under a particular callsign

    ADS-B doesn't tell location, that's acquired from a different source by flightradar, and it's very often incorrect. It just about gets regularly scheduled commercial flights correct, if it's not one of them it's often a guessing game as to whether FR24 is correct or not!

    Looking at Asia, air traffic appears to be picking up and I doubt that these are all cargo flights.

    In Asia would many of the airlines be state backed? As such they won't prioritise profit as much and may fly with extremely low load factors regardless?

    @Andrea B, the problem with showing hyperlinks like that is that as soon as someone looks at them, the aircraft has landed :(

    Do a search on the aircraft ZM416 and you’ll see it.

    And yes I found it by going through the fleet list! ;-)

    That’s why I like ADSEXCHANGE. Their funny airplane shapes leads you to look at interesting aircraft.

    Could also be a refuelling stop if it's headed for somewhere further south.

    At the moment, there are 4 EI A330s in the air, inbound from PEK, plus one outbound.

    Who’d have thought, only a few months ago?

    Peking flights, changed again, 3 inbound, 1 in the air over Norway outbound, and one just airborne from Dublin.

    I've noticed that all the DUB-PEK flights don't go onto the Great Circle route to Beijing until they've crossed the UK, yet the ones going the other way appear to take a more direct path. Can someone who knows such things offer any insights as to why they're doing this?

    This is my understanding. I could be wrong; it’s a long while since I spoke to an aircraft!

    I think that’s because the UK hasn’t implemented “Free Route Airspace”, which Ireland and a number of other ANSPs have. So the UK still has ATS routes (what were called “airways” when I was younger) whereas Ireland no longer has such a structure. So the PEK flights depart DUB on a SID which enters UK airspace, and then follow a structured route, until it leaves UK airspace and enters that of an ANSP which allows FRA (so effectively it gets a “go direct” instruction)

    Why aircraft were routed down airways is a story in itself. I could bore anyone for a fair while if anyone’s interested!

    I would have guess that it had to do with a lack of long range navigation facilities and equipment. But these days I’m ready to be “bored”, so go ahead :)
