I wished someone had warned me, it was like the airplane scene in War of the Worlds.

I'd imagine the AN124 had a heavy load to transport from Shannon to Tel Aviv after coming from Tulsa.

The amount of people losing their mind on social media last night was hilarious. I must admit though, it's the loudest I've ever heard it on departure and I've often been on stand as she powers away.

Does anyone know why the CSO 2nd Quarter figures are higher than the sum of the monthly CSO figures for April, May and June?

Completely predicted that this would happen this year. Lower numbers were forecast for 2019 before the loss of Norwegian and the non start of Air Canada. There's already been new route announcements for next year and Air Canada will be back if the MAX gets back in the air.

I thought commercial was something different to commercial flights ��, never mind

Jet diverts to Shannon with fuel leak for second time in a month (Clare Herald)

A transatlantic jet has diverted to Shannon Airport after the crew declared an emergency over Co Donegal, reporting a fuel leak on board.

It’s the third time in less than a month that the same jet was forced to make an unscheduled landing as a result of a fuel leak. On November 18th the same plane diverted to Shannon Airport with the same issue.

The plane also diverted to Manchester Airport yesterday with a suspected fuel leak. The flight was travelling from Paris to Chicago in the U.S. at the time.
