Landed and happy to vacate.

Edit:// Will stop for a quick inspection by fire engines and will then vacate.

Gaoth Laidir

Pilot just said smoke was spotted by the tower at Dublin and engine fire indications were activated but then put out.

JCX BXC

Vacated runway now, will have a quick inspection of the runway and then EI385 (EIN38W) will be able to make an approach.

According to post of FB, there are ~ 260 pax, 16 crew and 66 tonnes of fuel. Other comments suggest it's going to a hold in order to burn off fuel

RTE just reported that fuel had to be dumped in to Shannon Estuary. Can any of the Aerlingus A330's dump fuel?

Most of the good folk here say that the EI 330's don't have the means of dumping fuel. That, plus the fact that dumping fuel needs to be done above the altitude that this 330 circled at before landing, would suggest that this particular fuel dump claim is in accurate.

By the way, were did you hear mention of this in RTE?

RTE 2fm news at 6. Nothing about the dump on their news website.
Update: 6:30 news also stated that the fuel had to be dumped.

There’s no fuel jettison capabilities on the EI A330s.

The av herald report contradicts itself about the tower reporting smoke.

That's what I thought initially but upon rereading it, it seems that Shannon twr contradicted Dublin tower's original observation of smoke, after which the crew restated they had a fire indication.

Oh the AV said 'Lingus' wait till the person with nothing else to do officially comments about it or the bean counters scratching heads as to why you cant just fly an aircraft out of storage

Audio from todays Shamrock diversion

JCX BXC

I found the subtitles very funny!

I was driving West on the M6 this afternoon and noticed a large passenger jet flying low in the direction of Shannon. I thought it might be some kind of training flight. But, it must have been the Aer Lingus plane mentioned above. There was no sign of smoke or anything at that point. So, they must have shut down the engine already.

Nice for a private plane.

One to watch for tomorrow, high winds expected at Dublin between 6pm AND 8PM as Storm Eleanor passes through and remaining very blustery afterwards. Gusts up to 55 knots forecast

The segment between 07:00 and 09:00 could potentially be problematic too, particularly for incoming traffic given the predicted gusts and their direction.

That's been happening for a while. French overseas territories count as the EU, apparently.

Air France have two A320s based in the Caribbean linking Martinique and Guadeloupe with Miami and also with Port au Prince in Haiti and Cayenne in French Guiana.
