    Looks like the 380 could be off to Shannon too!

    I think that 'Foggy' bloke has been at it again this morning in London?

    Between him and the AA87 emergency landing lots of flights are diverting to Cardiff from Heathrow.

    He is even sending Shannon G-XLEB

    Fair enough, I didn't know the A380 could land in Dublin.

    Yeah she's going to SNN, I was just answering the question of where else it could land

    BA A380 down now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,847 ✭✭✭✭Shannon757


    Any idea how long the A380 will be out in Shannon?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,321 ✭✭✭Foggy43


    It has been re-scheduled to arrive LHR at 13:25. Probably stopped in SNN for a drop of fuel.

    Of course there is also a possibilty of congestion on the ground at LHR and maybe best leave G-XLEB in SNN until a more suitable time for it's next sector. Of course there is crew going out of hours.

    I think the crew are asking SNN Tower for 'start up' now

    It could land, but can it be handled?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,321 ✭✭✭Foggy43


    BA284 is on it's way to LHR now.

    BA208 has a slot of 11.54 from SNN and is requesting start up. BA maybe trying for a later slot as we write.

    It can be handled at all the airports, just not effectively as with any divert. Especially something with the pax numbers of the 380.

    Manchester, no problem it does so already. Unless it's stand is already occupied but MAN have sufficient remote stands.
    Birmingham, already handles the 777 and works are underway for the 380 stand. Again, lots of remote stands available.
    Dublin, Billie can prob answer that!

    Before BA started the A380 commercially they had to set up divert airports. BA accepted DUB could handle A380's but chose SNN as a better option. A bit more leg room one could say. It is the only airport that is BA ready, regardless of the divert type on the island of Ireland.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,170 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Is the BA still in SNN?

    Edit: No, flew to LHR at after 12.

    Didn't know a BA747 also diverted to SNN, no one mentioned that!

    Yet another transatlantic flight diverting into Snn this evening. A KLM B772.
    Anyone have more details? Seems there's a diversion into Snn every second day lately.

    EDIT: (Just learned it's medical and it was a Westbound flt. KL 621, AMS-ATL)
