    Don't panic about the 'low fuel' one. The pilots often exaggerate a bit to get on the ground quicker thus saving the fuel costs, being home earlier etc. It's also uncomfortable for the passengers to stay in holding pattern for a longer period of time. The planes take enough fuel to stay in a holding pattern for at least an hour on the average, if this guy was really running out of fuel he'd be using a different wording to report it.

    Also, the amount of traffic is not that unusual, arrivals into Dublin are normally schedules up until 11:50pm.

    That said, they are having issues getting accurate results of the braking action tests which may add to the current delays.
