Ryanair doesn't have a scheduled flight from Dublin to Knock.

It appears that this was a recovery from an earlier diversion - this morning's FR805 STN-NOC diverted to DUB.

Long day for the passengers. Instead of arriving at NOC at 9:00am they're going back where they started after two flights.

Could this have been a recovery from an earlier diversion that we didn't notice? They do operate STN-NOC.

Yes it is, originally went to DUB then tried for NOC again later. Now back to STN

No. Most likely they disembarked in Dublin and are on a bus to Knock.

Wow Dublin Airport looking busy now with that runway change. Few go-arounds and approx 9 holdings to get in.

They might divert to Belfast will they? Probably not as windy up there...yet

There’s an ATR headed for SNN now- I think it’s a cargo plane

Lot of flights heading for and circling Dublin. Not an easy one for air traffic control either this morning

Dublin RWY 16 in use though they'll switch to RWY 28, crosswinds will be a big factor, though if that's the case i'd expect more go-arounds/circling and diversions..

Only been one GA and no diversions so they've been doing quite well.

Flights getting off from Cork and SNN just now.

Flights getting off from Cork and SNN just now. Jets seem to be managing so far

Board Walker

The radar on windy looks like there is a break in the wind but looks like it should pick up again around 2pm

Google Dubai airport rain, videos, and you will see what causes the delays. It was more like arriving in the Maldives.

FR47 from cork? I assume its positioning to SNN

Was that a diverted plane heading back to SNN?

Just looking at some of the approach routings for RWY16 today and some flights get sent way up, pretty much to Co.Cavan before turning back to approach. I understand they need to allow for spacing etc. but would it not be better just to put them in a hold instead of the extra flying miles.

Not to be facetious, but do they burn less fuel flying in a circle than in a straight line for the same time?

DUB to LCY this afternoon, diverted to SEN after a few very hairy attempts to land:

Further French strike action began tonight at 1800 running until 0530 Friday morning, coupled with Italian strike action tomorrow 1200-1600 who will be refusing entry to Italian airspace for overflight traffic. :rolleyes:

Maybe a day to stay at home!

Apparently due to winds in LHR at the moment.
