    17 planes holding for Dublin at the moment.

    Looks like the first diversion happening, the Gatwick flight heading to Shannon.

    UA126 IAD-DUB diverting to Shannon.

    Surprised to see so many aircraft circling above the Wicklow mountains I have to say. Thought that would have been a no-no given the terrain.

    Most aircraft are well above the mountains, for example 8000ft is nearly 2500m, the Wicklow mountains highest point is 925m, which they're not actually near anyway.

    Not an emergency aircraft, be careful people (media) could misread your words and think it was.

    The media don't care for facts like that. They'll print whatever nonsense they like.

    United 22 was unable to line up on 10 which is adding to the mess

    Is a Pan Pan Pan not an emergency of some sort?

    Granted poor use of terminology.

    A pan pan is but this wasn’t a pan pan, this was the pilot advising in 7 mins he would be declaring a pan pan.

    Sounds like he trying to force Dublin to allow him in by threatening a “pan pan”.
    This weather was forecast well in advance and flight crew should have taken extra fuel to deal.

    How long was he holding for? The cockpit brief a couple of hours earlier should have arrived at a decision of “how long will we hold for?”

    BA57 (Airbus A380 Reg G-XLEC) London Heathrow to Johannesburg after u turning over France and heading back to London Heathrow, circling at 13,000ft over the English channel must be dumping fuel, cause unknown.

    Update: Returning due to a technical issue.

    Update 2: Now circling over OCKHAM (OCK) at 8,000ft to increase fuel burn with gear down, ETA for fuel burn is 1 - 2hrs.

    Looks like a bit of training, flew down from Dublin earlier.

    Shannon is the regular location for training for EI, probably checking out a new batch of pilots on A320

    It was no Antonov but it was loud for that time of the night, it was quite cold so that made it louder.

    The main reason I posted was that it wasn't on FR24, which I should've included in the original post.

    There's a Garda/army anti-terrorist exercise in Shannon this afternoon. They warned people there would be bangs.

    N680FE on the second day of its rotation to Europe. This aircraft positioned Memphis-Paris on the 15th and entered service yesterday CDG-MXP. Unlike the other FedEx A330s that have been operated in Europe to date, this one was built new as a freighter.

    Is it just my Flightradar being glitchy or is a Voletea a319 EI-FZN operating the EI657 from FRA?
