Sat in Rhodes airport waiting on a TUI flight to Dublin. Should be landing at 17.25 hrs. Is it calming down yet?

Not yet. Some aircraft still struggling to get in. Lots circling over the Irish sea.
It should calm down by then but you'd assume delays will be there for the day with aircraft out of position and behind time

Heard someone asking for runway 13/31 in Shannon earlier

Now that would have been an interesting landing!

WOW! Airlines A320 straight in on the first attempt. Business as usual for the Icelandics

FR8995 from Munich to Dublin https://fr24.com/RYR49RK/1deaec9d

Going around

IQO

Cityjet WX113 giving up after two attempts and making its way back to the UK now.

The Aer Lingus A320's seem to fare better now than the Ryanair attempts. [edit: too quick here, EI155 also going around now].

Sterling Archer

And Liverpool has closed-up shop with Scottish airports the same

Dub ground having the craic there "That's way above my pay grade"

b318isp

Max gust at 33kts just reported there, a decent drop.

stephenjmcd

Big issue now seems to be turning the planes around. Dublin tower mentioning very few departures, cant open cargo doors etc, backlog of anything landing waiting for a stand

masit

United 126 gone around because Shamrock 147 abandoned its take off. Could not hear the reason why it stoped its takeoff.

Maybe not so much business as usual. Icelandair 757 TF-FIT has gone around on its first attempt. It has a lot to do with wind shear, if you get that warning, you have to go-around!

Well done to all crews operating today, it's not easy.

NH2013

Anyone hear the reason for the EI147s rejected takeoff?

Mebuntu

Anyone hear where ICE416 is going? Still climbing overhead Fishguard.

robbie1876

The Qatar 787 from Doha currently FL32 over Leeds after one missed approach to Dublin - where is it heading now?

b318isp

Hmm, currently descending over the Lake District. Wrong approach for MAN, maybe heading to Glasgow? Seems to be holding - maybe for MAN, it looks like it was heading there after diverting.

Headed towards MAN now

ICE416 now descending over Dover! Maybe headed for Brussels.

Yep - Manchester must be bursting at the seams today.

SleetAndSnow

AFR1716 seems to be heading towards Cork Airport after looping around Dublin.

Has me wondering though why more flights weren't diverted to Cork since it wasn't affected too badly from the winds and flights are on time etc? Just want to expand my knowledge on this stuff

Now landing in Ostend. That must be the strangest DUB diversion I've ever seen.

And fair play to him for cutting down on airport congestion by landing at CIT

Saw that too haha,

That STK8BH flight that just took off is the first time I have seen a plane use that runway from Cork Airport. Its most likely used a bit but i've not seen it before

Ahh, that explains the delay on the outbound, this morning's flight was cancelled, and there would have been no empty 330 Turkish bins in Dublin, so the outbound bags for both flights would have had to wait for the bins to be offloaded, and extra cleaning and catering etc. Friend of mine was on it, and wondering why there was a delay, now we know why.

Re Cork I heard an EI pilot during a previous storm, in discussion with ops, reject it as an option as he felt he could find himself “down in a corner“ if it didn’t work out. Going to Uk leaves more options open. Ops preference was to have diverted pax “on the island”

Chris_5339762

I remember that exact conversation on ATC and it stuck with me.

TBH I'd rather divert to the UK.... at least they have to fly you home then, unlike chucking you out of Shannon or Belfast, waiting ages for a bus then waiting ages for said bus to get you to Dublin. Usually with a UK diversion they like to get you back in Ireland (Dublin) ASAP.
