G-ZAPX finally nearly back at Dublin, passing over Galway now.

Could be wrong, but as far as I'm aware its not going to DUB.

The BOS-SNN passengers were actually sent to DUB on the 330. LBS should be back soon.

Very Interesting tracking routes various aircraft manufacturers use to deliver aircraft to the customer
You can view the latest global aircraft deliveries logged on planespotters.net -

https://www.planespotters.net/deliveries

And by entering the reg in Flightradar24 ( https://www.flightradar24.com/data/) , you can view which route the aircraft was flown from production/test facility to customer. Amazing to see the Ryanair deliveries of their new 737s flying direct from Seattle to Dublin, obviously without passengers this is possible - they always use flight number FR800 - you can view recent deliveries via following link

https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/fr800

Obviously for longer distance deliveries and for smaller aircraft stopovers are required. The following plots the delivery of a New ATR from the Toulouse factory to New Zeland via UAE, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia

Also, by entering in the reg or test reg - sometimes referenced on planespotters) , you can view the flight tests of the aircraft before it was delivered to customer. The following showing flight test for a new Boeing 777 delivered this week to Aeroflot.

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!

BHX already takes the 380 too, there's a few vids of it on Youtube landing there in x-winds and normal ops.
DUB can handle the 380, most likely it would be bus jobs or paking around the 400's or 100's as both areas take 747's already without impeding normal ops too much. I still wish for the day to see one in Dublin.

Sorry Billie but BHX will only start 380 ops with EK tomorrow. The stand was only completed for it in the last few weeks.

In regard BHX, is that on a regular basis? I'm in and out of there a few times a week and never seen it operate. I know it diverted there from MAN once in the past. Our taxi plates indicate the 380 routing, no idea why!

I thought tomorrow is only a trial run to make sure ground equipment, airbridges etc are all up to standard and the official start date is easter sunday.

Emirates a380 landed in BHX on BHX's 70th birthday, it was scheduled for that specific ocassion, I think it has been there a few times since then and again the 22nd just gone. I never said it was a scheduled service, just that BHX can take it and are ready for it

Has there been go arounds?

Re new Flightradar24 format: Extra info/features may be nice, but it annoys me that I can't see source/destination, aircraft type and altitude togther without mousing over the sidebar to find the pointlessly-hidden scrollbar and then scrolling. Each new plane selected - rinse & repeat :mad:

Very annoying alright. And you can only have one line on the aircraft label. I know it is a free service but they bombard you enough with ads that they could at least retains some of the basic features?

I saw one Thursday and thought it was very low.

highlydebased

It was 7500ft over Nenagh today

??????

I've lived under the flight path all my life and that looked far lower than normal, close enough I could read it was a National plane.
