    Very decent of Ryanair to offer the jet to the family.

    Theres too much Ryanair bashing in this world but it was very good of them. And a huge fuss hasn't been made of it which means it was genuine, and not a thinly veiled advert or a promotion. Good on them.

    Its not the first time they have done things like this, they just never publicise it.

    EI have done the same with the repatriation of Karen Buckley from Glasgow and the unfortunate Berkeley kids from the US. It would be pretty piss poor form for any Airline to use these tragic events for their own publicity.

    You say that, but there's a reason they do it for Karen Buckley, Berkeley Kids and Axel. They know full well word will get out and they'll get the kudos. The Kevin Mallon Repatriation Trust does the work (and pays the cash) when it's not a famous death.

    Obviously it's better than charging the famous families for it, but lets not fool ourselves, they ain't doing it quietly

    You say that but it was Stobart who were requested to hire the EI 320 from Glasgow. No mention of it in any press release!

    They also delayed a KIR DUB flight to get a transplant organ to a hospital in Dublin when the weather was too bad for the Air Corps to fly. The only reason the papers knew about it was because the surgeon sent an open letter thanking the company to Head office and a few papers.

    So let's drop the begrudgery , the airlines livery is on the side and that's what shows up in pictures. I'm not cynical enough to believe that any airline is doing it for kudos.....

    Same with the repatriation of James Nolan from Poland, Ryanair flew the family over to collect him and brought them all home, free of charge, o mention in the media. Thats just one example I can tell you of. I have also delayed flights in DUB to await transport of organs when the Air Corps couldn't fly. Its what airlines do in these situations when they have the means available to them.
    People automatically assume they do it for publicity, when in most cases they try their best to keep it from the media.

    As I said, any good act is welcome, but anyone got any stories of an airline doing it for someone not-famous?

    Unfortunately that's true. If its anybody that's not known they will have to pay for it. The Irish Embassy will have pulled out all the stops here too. Not something they are likely to extend to a randomer.

    A very paradoxical question........

    I've only ever carried HUM once, it was on an IOM to LPL. All the child's medical paperwork accompanied the NOTOC. The parents weren't travelling so I don't know what the arrangements were.

    LITERALLY the post above yours. James Nolan wouldn't have been regarded as anyone famous.

    ah you know what i mean. Someone who's death wasn't on the front page of every paper in the country.

    Anyway, not trying to make a deal bout it, I'm not an airline-basher, fair play Ryanair.

    Lets's watch some planes!

    I see EI are doing a KEF charter, I've seen it's twice now in recent days, does anyone know how often this flight goes and how it's sold? I assume it's a charter as EI don't sell flights to KEF, who are they operating for ?

    In previous years it's been thetraveldepartment.ie doing it if I'm not mistaken, it seems they do it quite a lot over mid term... Has it really been a year since all that fuss about Icelandair's special livery aircraft not coming to Dublin, despite it being timetabled? It feels like yesterday!

    Wow !! If that's true, well, I just find that amusing for some reason.
    Foreigners now come to Ireland, on Christmas shopping trips, I suppose Iceland is expensive... and it wouldnt have the retail and shopping that Dublin has so makes sense. Interesting trend!

    Icelanders have been coming to Ireland for Christmas shopping for years and years!

    I remember gangs of them staying in a hotel local to us, must be over 15 years ago and more.

    RWY07 in use for landing Stobarts at Cork, first time I've actually ever seen aircraft landing on that Runway on Flightradar. No approach lights for it. Is it a visual approach?
