    Yep, the first A380 in Ireland landed at SNN, it was a BA testing Shannon as its Trans-Atlantic alternative.

    There was also a Air France emergency landing as far as I recall,

    The BA wasn't the first A380 the test aircraft did several touch and go 's several years ago it was in an all white scheme. Can't remember the exact year.

    I would guess the A330 from MIA is running late and crew are nearly out of hours so the dash 8 is bringing in a relief crew to continue the flight to Germany
