    But he had circled just north of Cardiff city. He had Cardiff airport as well as Bristol airport within minutes and even Exeter airport at a push.


    Looking at the weather it would seem that Shannon was best due mist and fog in pretty much all the airports east of DUB. There's no way of knowing how bad the situation was onboard or what systems the aircraft had or didn't have.

    Second guessing the pilots won't help either as we don't know what information they were looking at or what his thought process was. Safe and successful outcome none the less.

    They only realised that Cardiff's runway was too short when the aircraft was below 5,000ft. They had forgotten to check. As to why it went all the way back to Shannon I don't know. Not too much further than some of the main U.K airports they could have gone to but doesn't really matter I guess..

    Thanks, I guess they are trying to frighten off drug smugglers or are they on a SAR top cover mission?

    Cool - STN I think is it's main base but easy to see why it'd be in DUB too.

    AAL87 turned around around 10:30UTC this morning. Due fuel leak. Wasn't too serious though. Still had to burn more fuel on his way back to London, hence the drop to FL270.

    Look back at a Saturday evening mid-summer and compare then. Insane amount of traffic to/from the Canaries.

    Please do elaborate on this. I think you are over glamourising unions and their power, why on earth would they want so many flights together surely they would want them spread out to keep their members employed not bunched together to over work them.

    Are you talking about the canaries to Scandinavia flights. It's more likely just fits in the operators schedules, the tour agents requirements and the customers requests to leave late and fly mostly through the night. It's not unusual that certain countries get particular change over days of the week in resorts. Very common in sun and ski destinations.
