    Tango One.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Ha, that A320 is registered EI-DSY...interesting.
    Are all of the Alitalia fleet Irish registered?

    Had a look at some other Alitalia planes at FCO now, and most I clicked on had an EI reg :)

    Most but not all are leased from Aircraft Purchase Fleet, which is Irish hence the EI regs

    Probably, you will be landing just 10 min behind him.

    Looks like he’s in a hold off Wicklow. Must be too early for the welcoming party.

    ATC said the “TV crews weren’t ready” as the excuse for the hold.

    I was tracking the flight earlier and it looked like it had made time enroute. Given the choreography throughout the day, an early start would've been problematic! The right thing to do - and not just for TV schedules either - was the lap or two at SORIN or thereabouts!

    It’s called protocol. You don’t arrive early, it’s not the done thing.

    Looks like they’re taking no chances and sending two 321 EI-CPG and CPH to NOC this morning one being a standby I assume
