    Seems to be pretty busy at the moment - approx 7 in holds, 5 on approaches and 10 on the taxiway awaiting departure! Is it just summer busyness?

    Michael O'Leary is fighting with Joe Duffy...they're all tuned in? :)

    Why would U2's plane landing cause delays? Surely it's just another aircraft.

    There was a runway change in there somewhere, 10 most of the day, they switched to 28 at some stage this afternoon. That tends to bottleneck things for a while, depending on the mix of departures and arrivals.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    I didn't see it, but I'd wager it's a new Cityjet Superjet flying from Prestwick on some sort of training flight. They were extremely common a few months ago, not so much now.

    Lovely 5- plane flyover in formation, banking over Baggot St about 10 mins ago.... Anyone know what that was for?

    Practicing for something, or is there something on?

    I'm assuming fuel dump isn't possible. Is it normal for them to have that much extra fuel on board? Over 2 hours holding.

    You can't listen to UK ATC as its illegal to broadcast online I'm afraid.

    Still circling! And that's an inbound flight! They must have some amount of fuel onboard!

    Open to correction, but I'd guess that the flap issue could also prevent them from doing certain types of flying that would accelerate the fuel burn?

    They must have some amount of fuel onboard!
    With the cost of saudi fuel it makes sense to tanker to max landing weight regardless of the additional burn off for carrying that fuel.
    The aircraft would have being planned to land at MLW, the flap issue is something else, but if they really needed to, they could dump fuel.

    Interesting, thanks!
