    I notice (hear) recently many low approach flights between 11pm-2am coming in over south county Dublin at 3000ft into Dublin to land on the secondary runway 34.
    I presume this is because the main runway 28 is closed each night for maintenance works. Any idea how long this might last? Not inconvenienced, just curious.

    The Dublin airport Twitter account often advises when they are going to do maintenance on runway 28/10 but there was nothing on twitter or the website so it may have been some unscheduled work last night. There was a NW wind but it didn't look strong enough to prevent landing on 28. The first two incoming flights from the US arrived early (4:10-4:30) this morning, they also approached over south Dublin and landed on runway 34, I didn't think that runway was long enough for the Airbus 330s, probably isn't for take-off but they don't need the same length to land.
