    I recall flying from Atlanta to Shannon on a Delta B777 200 some years ago and the screen was showing a ground speed of 750mph. I think it was the fastest speed I've ever travelled at. It was pretty choppy too as I recall.

    Looks to be a very vigorous jetstream on the N. Atlantic presently. Some impressive speeds being shown on FR24. I realise those speeds are estimates while aircraft are in oceanic airspace outside of radar coverage but even so, they are impressive if even close to actual.
    Just saw an Air India doing 1222 km/h (760mph) on FR - that's some going!

    12.15. There's a Norwegian 737MAX8 in the air heading from Helsinki to Copenhagen. IBK9HU. Seems to be staying at FL180. REG is EI-FYG.

    EDIT: Strange. The Flt. No. has changed en route to D88921. Managed to get to FL190.

    FR24 says it's flying with flaps down to disable MCAS.

    It's the same as the Icelandair max aircraft that transited through Shannon recently, all 4 had to stay at fl190 for the entire flight.

    Also an expected fuel leak in Nov-19 going BRU - ORD had to turn back to SNN just after hitting the Atlantic.

    Ryanair will be foaming at the mouth, an Easyjet plane landing in ROI.

    I thought that EI and EJ were Irish registrations, but this was the first time that I have see EJ in use. Is it still Irish ?

    I believe so, they’re trying to market it as standing for “Executive Jet” for those regulator shopping.

    Holding now, maybe burning off/dumping fuel ?

    Edit: Confirmed fuel dump.

    Not a fuel dump, Aer Lingus A330’s don’t have that facility.
