According to wikipedia "Service ceiling: 10,200 m (33,500 ft)" so no, its probably incorrect.

It can be inaccurate, but often it's not.

Don't really understand peoples hatred of Wikipedia, this is a discussion, not an official disclosure.

Did EI-LBS do a training/test flight this evening or did it have to return from a transatlantic flight? Doesn't seem to have a scheduled flt. no. so maybe a technical sortie of some sort?

(Apologies for the huge file.....couldn't resize it for some reason)

No Aer Lingus TA flights from SNN today, and especially not at 4pm (USPC closed).

Likely some sort of Training/Maintenance.

Also noteworthy is the go-around. It's likely not got to do with the wind. (Only 16kts)

Test flight after maintenance. The new 757 for EI has had its winglets fitted with engines to follow shortly.

Yeah. Will operate DUB-IAD until September and then will operate DUB-BDL

The new Dxb-Akl has disappeared from FR24 map.
Last I saw it, EK448 was east of Mel heading to Akl and it just has gone to 'unknown' status. Why?

Loss of ADB-S signal.

Private 727 currently in Belfast City is due to depart on Wednesday around lunchtime. Should show on FR24, reg is N800AK. Black / red / grey livery looks rather like Trump's livery but apparently not one of his.

Oh, apparently it was one of his! But he sold it for the 757.

Fairly bad squall passing over Shannon at the moment, due to that I'd say.

Thats based in my part of the world, so not Trumps :)

I'll take a guess at this and say it's Adele at the start of her concert tour.

She's playing Dublin on Friday, so we'll wait and see where the 727 goes next!

Edit: Update - Twitter debate seems to suggest either Adele or a group of Far East Businessmen

Another rumour about its occupants is a group of Dubai-based investors looking at property in NI.

Adele was in a corporate CRJ that departed a bit earlier in the morning.

EI-LBR flew DUB-SNN as EI990
EI-LBS flew SNN-DUB as EI991

According to FR24 anyway...

Could be part of the J Class seat refit....perhaps one leaving DUB to get refitted, the other returning to service after refit?

MoeJay

Tail swap for maintenance as has happened a few times, whether or not it involves the refit only the Shannon spotters will know if it goes into the hangar....!

If I remember correctly, the SNN JFK doesn't start up again for a couple of weeks....?

Yeah in two weeks.

VLM flight W26148 (Unsure of accuracy of this flight number)/VLM18LW from LTN-WAT appears to be diverting to Dublin, turning for approach at DUB now.
