    All traffic at DUB currently in the hold, looks like the wind went through 190 degrees to 160 to cause a tailwind on RWY28, DUB then switched ops to RWY10 before the wind swung back around again.

    Currently traffic remaining in the hold as they are waiting for the lighting to switch back to RWY28 from RWY10. Anyone check the TAF? ��

    The runway is closed every night between 7pm and 7:30pm for 20-30 minutes to switch to RWY10 for the works that are currently going on on the treshold of RWY28. It requires a full shut down of the airfield lighting and a restart of it also.

    Emirates EK15 (A380) Dubai - Gatwick seems to be in a spot of bother. FR showed it flying loops around Kent and the south coast, presumably troubleshooting an issue. It's now climbed to FL190 and is currently flying north past Oxford, presumably enroute to Manchester.

    This has turned out to be a quite a big incident in the end and is being investigated. More here

    A lady passed away on this flight, hence the diversion.

    Holding procedures in place at DUB at the moment (11:40), seems to be some kind of drone incident at the field :rolleyes:

    Still closed, and an RTÉ news alert just arrived on my phone!

    There was a drone sighting, however nothing spotted since so likely reopening soon.

    DY1362 (OSL-DUB) diverting to Shannon if no update in the next 3 minutes. Several will follow to both Shannon and Aldergrove.

    Rescue 15 told to "take their time" on the inspection, so doesn't look good.

    Drone spotted from a "credible source", a pilot on the apron.

    EI651 (EIN65W) FRA-DUB diverting to Shannon.
    EI157 (EIN5JL) LHR-DUB diverting to Belfast Aldergrove.
    EI681 (EIN68K) GVA-DUB diverting to Belfast Aldergrove

    Be grand if you are living in Limerick or Cork and were using Dublin Airport to come into Ireland.
