    Poor passengers on all these flights, why can’t they all divert to SHANNON to avoid the least amount of convenience on passengers on Christmas Eve of all days

    EIN8AK attempting now

    EDIT: heard it fly overhead, but couldn't see it nor its lights. Im basically next to the airport so its rare I don't see them when they are landing.

    EDIT: And landed.

    Dermot Desmond's M-CELT

    Likely he has no choice given Dublin is closed

    AFAIK, Dublin isn't closed. There's 2/3 flights operating today and it's open for emergencies. It's just not a day for travelling in Ireland.

    That said, I would've thought the ME3 would operate their flights as scheduled today.

    Just departed Shannon again, only a stopover

    Perhaps he was heading to the States anyway and had to pick up something he forgot. :)

    It is closed to pax ops until approx 3:45am, except in emergency.

    No flights operating today, the airport is closed to commercial operations due to lack of demand.

    I knew that there were no flights operating, hence my question!

    Lack of demand is debatable, even Shannon had some demand for a polish flight a few years ago, yet carries more than 10 times less passengers than Dublin.

    Just looking at QTR704 New York to Doha.

    Is that a normal track, seems to have turned NE towards Dublin ? It could just be my ignorance for routes, but it seems wrong...

    Yes, that's the correct track. The track west of there is incorrect as it was out of range of ground based radar receivers and it's simply an FR24 estimate.

    Thanks for the info.

    So the dotted track is estimated position and the solid when ground based radar confirms ?

    I learnt something....

    FR24 does not generally display a ground-based radar picture but rather ADS-B position information transmitted by the aircraft.

    From your linked page:

    "This data is based on radar data (not just aircraft equipped with ADS-B transponders) and includes most scheduled and commercial air traffic in the US and Canadian airspace, as well as parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.
    "

    Thanks for the link, really interesting, thats a lot of receivers.

    The page also states "The primary technology that Flightradar24 use to receive flight information is called automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B)."

    Just watching the loon at KUPANG seems strange to me to launch them at a main airport I thought hey would be a hazard on the way up ?

    SB

    Mod Note.

    For the majority that wouldn't have a clue what this post is about.

    https://www.flightradar24.com/KUPANG/1f0162c7

    A balloon (clearly large as it's ADSB equipped) is being launched at some stage from Kupang in Indonesia.

    That's a great article, just the facts as known and none of the usual "terrified passengers" or "emergency landing" nonsense that you normally find in newspapers these days. Excellent work Pat Flynn of the Clare Herald.
