Possible incident at Gatwick Airport which may be closed temporarily due to a tarmac issue. EZY19JT, EZY51NT and EZY95FR are all on the ground after sqawking 7700.

I spotted that, a few flights diverted, there were a cluster of vehicles in the middle of the runway and nothing took off for a while. Think its back to normal now.

It rained all day yesterday in the South East of the UK. Today is the complete opposite. It is a very nice and sunny. Perfect day to get the old aeroplane out flying because the good weather is not going to last very long.

Anyone know who owns OH-GTH?

I'd guess Pilatus themselves.

EI-EWR just landed back in Toronto.

EI-EWR has now returned to Dublin, having just landed as EI1128, taking a more southerly track than that of the previous day.

Heard a flight today getting asked his aircraft type, the answer was P8, is this the B737 Poseidon ?

Apparently since back and forth to Shannon from Dublin with lots of loops around Shannon on both journeys...

Looks more like test flights, barely enough time on the ground to taxi to terminal, shutdown, walk around, start up, taxi out.

Operated under EI99x so is a positioning/training/test flight

If in revenue ops charter it would be EI4xxx

It was performing multiple touch and go's - quite clearly a test flight of some form.

Training flights probably, there was a 330 doing circuits earlier this week

Seemingly they are turning back to empty their passengers , refuel and head back to their original destinations to bring people home ahead of an expected flight embargo from tonight to/from all of Spain.

Nice map of how the coronavirus spread all over the world

People,

Could you verify what I am seeing in flight radar.

Today I was meant to take the 11.30am flight from Dublin to Boston but instead chose not to fly due to the emergency declared by trump.

Spent 4 hours in total trying to reach Aer lingus to rearrange flight before it took off. However - it shows the flight hasn’t taken off and it’s not updating in flight radar.

Would this mean they cancelled it?

It looks like going ahead, Dublin airport website shows it as Go to Preclearance. Most other departures to the USA have been delayed, suspected to be a result of the extra time Preclearance is taking with the new travel restrictions.
